In Re: the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Teller v. the City of Woodland Park, a Municipal Corporation

Summary

The court held that the district court lacked jurisdiction to review the County's annexation challenge because the County failed to file a motion for reconsideration within ten days after the annexation ordinances became effective. The ordinances became effective under the City's charter seven days after publication, independently of the later date on which the annexation itself became effective under state law. The court therefore made the rule absolute, reversed the district court's order, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
