Matrix Properties Corp. v. JCG Investments, L.L.C.

No. 20020011

Per Curiam.

[¶1]	TAG Investments, Carol Grettum, and Jonathan T. Garaas appeal from a judgment quieting title to certain real property and ordering TAG and Garaas to pay costs and attorneys fees, and from an order denying a motion to alter, amend, or vacate the judgment.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).  We specifically note that under the facts of this case TAG and Grettum have no vendor’s lien on the subject real property.

[¶2]	We conclude that the appeal is frivolous.  We, therefore, order under N.D.R.App.P. 38 and 39 that Matrix is entitled to double costs in the amount of $150 and is entitled to attorney fees in the amount of $5,000, for a total of $5,150 for this appeal.
