Heading: Arapahoe County Suit

Text: The second suit, filed by Bellco in county court in Arapahoe County in 2016, was a collection action against McDonald for an unpaid debt of $14,664.09—it had nothing to do with Zions’s garnishment of McDonald’s Bellco account several years earlier in the Eagle Court litigation. Nonetheless, McDonald filed counterclaims against Bellco and a third-party claim against Eagle County for perceived violations of his due process right by the Eagle Court in the 2009 suit. At the same time, McDonald removed the action to the Arapahoe County district court (the “Arapahoe County litigation”). Eventually, McDonald’s counterclaims and third-party claims were dismissed, leaving only Bellco’s original collection claim.
