Heading: Sam's First Motion To Compel

Text: In March 2008, while his first appeal was pending, Sam asked the superior court to compel Kathleen to: (1) return geotechnical road fabric Sam had purchased after separation; (2) reimburse him for heating fuel he purchased for the Glacier property during the divorce proceedings and pay for a later fuel delivery; and (3) return some 28 items of Azalea personalty listed in his motion papers and described as non-marital. [2] Kathleen responded that Sam's motion was frivolous, was deficient as not identifying the order to be enforced, raised disputes litigated at trial, and sought untimely reconsideration. Sam replied that relief was authorized by Civil Rule 70. He also asserted that the superior court's findings and conclusions require transfer of the disputed items. By order dated July 30, 2008, the superior court denied Sam's motion as to the road fabric, noting that because Sam thought his brother had taken it, Sam should pursue a claim against his brother, not Kathleen. It also denied the motion as to the fuel, finding it was Kathleen's because it went with the Glacier realty awarded to her. But as to the disputed Azalea personalty, the order provided that [t]he heirlooms from [Sam's] family are to be returned to him if [Kathleen] has them. If [she] no longer has the items, she is to provide an account for what happened to them, if she knows.
