D.L. Evans Bank v. Dean

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed judgment for D.L. Evans Bank, holding that Dean voluntarily submitted to personal jurisdiction by filing a general appearance that did not comply with the requirements for a special appearance. The court further held that timely orders renewing the original judgment restarted the six-year limitations period for an action on the judgment, and that Dean could challenge the judgment under Rule 60(b)(4) at any time but failed to show that it was void because he had actual notice and an opportunity to defend. The court awarded the bank reasonable appellate attorney fees under the commercial guaranty.
