Minn. R. Civ. P. 58.01. Respondent's argument is without merit because the judgment and decree was entered by the court administrator on November 3, 2009. Although the judgment was not docketed until July 2011, the judgment was effective upon entry. Respondent's reliance on In re Marriage of Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193 (Minn. App. 1994), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994), is unpersuasive.
Similarly, we review the district court's decision on an issue of laches for an abuse of discretion. In re Marriage of Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193, 196 (Minn.App. 1994), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994).
We review a district court's decision to apply, or not apply, laches for an abuse of discretion. In re Marriage of Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193, 196 (Minn.App. 1994), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994).
A district court's decision to apply, or not apply, the doctrine of laches is reviewed under the abuse-of-discretion standard. In re Marriage of Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193, 196 (Minn.App. 1994), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994).
A district court's decision to apply the doctrine of laches will not be disturbed absent an abuse of discretion. Opp v. Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193, 196 (Minn.App. 1994), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994).
We review a trial court's application or denial of the doctrine of laches under an abuse of discretion standard of review. See In re Marriage of Fogarty Rasbeary, 78 Cal.App.4th 1353, 1364, 93 Cal.Rptr.2d 653 (2000) (noting that the better rule is to apply an abuse of discretion standard of review when determining whether the trial court erred in refusing to apply the doctrine of laches); In re Marriage of Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193, 196 (Minn.Ct.App. 1994) (applying abuse of discretion standard to doctrine of laches); and Miss.-Fox River Drainage No. 2 v. Plenge, 735 S.W.2d 748, 754 (Mo.App. 1987) (appropriate standard of review is abuse of discretion when considering whether trial court erred in applying doctrine of laches). Prior to trial, Meneley moved the court to dismiss the case against him on the basis of laches.
We review the application of the doctrine of laches for an abuse of discretion. Opp v. LaBine, 516 N.W.2d 193, 196 (Minn.App. 1994), rev. denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994). An abuse of discretion occurs when the district court misapplies the law or relies on clearly erroneous fact findings.

Accordingly, the ten-year statute of limitations begins to run when the rule 58.01 procedures are completed. See In re Marriage of Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193, 195 (Minn. App. 1994) (holding the statute unambiguously means that the limitations period begins to run upon entry of judgment and that judgment was not "entered" until the court administrator complied with rule 58.01), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994).
We review a district court's decision to apply the doctrine of laches for an abuse of discretion. In re Marriage of Opp, 516 N.W.2d 193, 196 (Minn. App. 1994), review denied (Minn. Aug. 24, 1994).
