Randall Sehlstrom, A/k/a Randy Sehlstrom v. Donald Sehlstrom, Leland Sehlstrom

Summary

The court held that Leland's perpetual one-seventh royalty interest was an unaccrued real-property interest rather than a money judgment creating a debtor-creditor relationship. Consequently, Leland could not use postjudgment discovery under Rule 69, and the district court abused its discretion by holding Randy in contempt without clearly defining the acts required or establishing the amount owed. The court reversed and remanded for the district court to vacate the challenged orders.
