Pendleton v. Millington

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Apr 17, 1979
400 A.2d 353 (Me. 1979)

Opinion

April 17, 1979.

Appeal from the Superior Court, Walco County.

Eaton, Glass Marsano by Francis C. Marsano (orally), Belfast, for plaintiffs.

Brown Crowe by Stanley W. Brown, Jr. (orally), Belfast, for defendants.

Before McKUSICK, C.J., POMEROY, ARCHIBALD, DELAHANTY and GODFREY, JJ., and DUFRESNE, A.R.J.


MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

Donald E. and Anne M. Millington (defendants) have appealed from a Waldo County Superior Court grant of partial summary judgment, made final pursuant to Rule 54(b), M.R.Civ.P. on August 8, 1978, by which they were ordered to convey, pursuant to their obligations under a "Bond for a Deed," a certain parcel of land to Virgil D. and Estelle F. Pendleton (plaintiffs).

Since the only factual disputes asserted to remain for adjudication concern conditions which this Court has designated "not independently viable" under such a bond ( Perkins v. Penney, Me., 387 A.2d 205, 208 (1978)), none can qualify as a "genuine issue as to any material fact" within the meaning of Rule 56(c), M.R.Civ.P.

This case falls squarely within the holding of Perkins, supra, and is controlled thereby.

The entry will be:

Appeal denied.

Judgment affirmed.

Remanded to the Superior Court, Waldo County, for further proceedings.

WERNICK and NICHOLS, JJ., did not sit.

DUFRESNE, A.R.J., sat by assignment.
