In the Matter of the Estate of Linzy Hill, Brightwater Capital, LLC v. Hill

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Brightwater Capital’s ancillary petition, holding that Oklahoma law requires leave of the court to amend a pleading after dismissal. The Court also affirmed that Brightwater’s claim was untimely and based on a dormant judgment, and that the proper standard of review for the district court’s decision was de novo.
