Heading: GOETZ v. LANDERS

Text: On January 20, 1977, Goetz commenced in the county court of increased jurisdiction an action against Landers for forcible detainer of the property on Meadow Lane. It was served on Landers on January 21, two days after the complaint in Landers v. Goetz was served on Goetz Realty. The sheriff could not locate Goetz to serve the summons and complaint in Landers v. Goetz, and Goetz apparently submitted to jurisdiction by appearance in that case. Landers answered the forcible-detainer action, Goetz v. Landers, setting up a claim of title, and demanded that the action be certified to the district court pursuant to Sections 33-01-05 and 33-01-06, N.D.C.C. The transfer was made. No demand for jury trial was filed in this action.
