Heading: C.A.R. 21 Jurisdiction

Text: Â¶8Â Â Â Â Â We exercise our original jurisdiction under C.A.R. 21 to review this case because no other adequate remedy is available. As we previously recognized in Goodman Associates, LLC v. WP Mountain Properties, LLC, in the context of an order setting aside a default judgment, âan appeal following a trial on the merits would not be an adequate remedy for a judgment lienor whose priority might be destroyed by the sale of the encumbered property by a judgment creditor whose rights attached subsequent to the default judgment.â 222 P.3d 310, 314 (Colo. 2010). The trial courtâs order setting aside the default judgment forecloses all avenues for collecting the default judgment, requiring Nickerson to proceed to trial and possibly appeal. Because such a delay âmay endanger [Nickersonâs] ability to recover on [his] judgment lien,â no other adequate remedy is available. See id.
