Mike Northrup successfully defended a summary judgment awarded in favor of a homeowner’s association and a group of individual homeowners. The Plaintiffs were themselves homeowners and brought suit seeking to declare that the various homeowners were in violation of the association’s deed restrictions and that all the deed restrictions were void because of lack of enforcement. The association and individual homeowners secured a summary judgment against the claims and the Plaintiffs appealed. The court of appeals affirmed the summary judgment. They held that one of the Plaintiffs had failed to prosecute an appeal, while the other plaintiff lacked standing to sue because the record showed she was not the record owner of the property at the time she brought suit.
