Grinpas v. KAPAA 382, LLC

2 Citing cases

  1. Hancock v. Kulana Partners

    No. 20-16873 (9th Cir. Jul. 9, 2021)

    This land sale was the subject of nearly thirteen years of litigation in Hawaii state court, which resulted in a judgment that the trustee deed was accurate and conveyed the property to KPL. See Grinpas v. Kapaa 382, LLC, 472 P.3d 575, 2020 WL 5793752, at *1, *6 (Haw. June 29, 2020) (unpublished). By bringing his current fraudulent modification allegations in federal court, rather than as an affirmative defense or counterclaim in state court, Hancock seeks to undermine the judgment against him from state court.

  2. RSM, Inc. v. Middleton

    No. CAAP-20-0000327 (Haw. Ct. App. Oct. 28, 2024)

    "[T]he law of the case doctrine generally 'operates to foreclose re-examination of decided issues either on remand or on a subsequent appeal.'" Grinpas v. Kapaa 382, No. SCWC-14-0000870, 2020 WL 5793752, at *7 (Haw. June 29, 2020) (original brackets omitted) (quoting Hussey v. Say, 139 Hawai'i 181, 186, 384 P.3d 1282, 1287 (2016)). In these circumstances, the law of the case doctrine applies, and the Middletons have advanced no cogent reasons, patent error, or exceptional circumstances for us to revisit our prior ruling.
