  1. Freeman v. 6131 Colfax Lane

    907 N.W.2d 257 (Minn. Ct. App. 2018)   Cited 4 times
    This text mostly mirrors section 484.013's second subdivision. The rule does not (and cannot) broaden a court's jurisdiction. The Rules of General Practice are fashioned by the supreme court, and, except for narrow circumstances not relevant here, the rules cannot expand the authority of any court. Cf. State v. Stanway , 174 Minn. 608, 609, 219 N.W. 452, 453 (1928) ("Justice courts are provided for by the state Constitution, but the extent of their jurisdiction is left to the Legislature to determine.") (citing Minn. Const. art. VI, § 8 ). We add that the rule's subject, unlike the statute's subject, is the "housing court referee ." By contrast, the statute's subject is the housing court itself. Compare § 484.013, subd. 2 ("The housing calendar program may ...."), with Minn. R. Gen. Pract. 602 (2016) ("The housing court referee may ...."). The rule addresses the referee's authority within the housing court's authority; it does not purport to broaden or define the housing court's authority in any way.

  2. Bass v. Equity Residential Holdings, LLC

    849 N.W.2d 87 (Minn. Ct. App. 2014)   Cited 13 times
    A district court is a court of general jurisdiction. Minn.Stat. § 484.01 (2012). The district court may establish a program to “consolidate the hearing and determination of matters related to residential rental housing” and such programs are affirmatively established by statute in Ramsey and Hennepin Counties. Minn.Stat. § 484.013, subd. 1 (2012). Under Minn.Stat. § 484.013, subd. 2 (2012), the Hennepin County housing court has jurisdiction over “all proceedings under chapter 504B; criminal and civil proceedings related to violations of any state, county or city health, safety, housing, building, fire prevention or housing maintenance code; escrow of rent proceedings; and actions for rent abatement.” The housing court “must provide for the consolidation of landlord-tenant damage actions and actions for rent at the request of either party.” Id., subd. 2. This language is repeated in Minn. R. Gen. Pract. 602, which provides that a referee may preside over housing court matters. A party may object to assignment of a referee to hear contested matters. Minn.Stat. § 484.70, subd. 6 (2012). Equity did not object to having a referee preside over the hearing.

  4. Promulgation of Judicial Conduct, ADM08-8004

    No. ADM08-8004 (Minn. Nov. 19, 2010)
    (B) shall not practice law in the district court of the county in which the judge serves, or, if the court is divided into divisions, in the division of the court on which the judge serves, or in any court subject to the appellate jurisdiction of the court on which the judge serves , . This paragraph shall not apply to lawyers who are appointed pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 484.013, Minn. Stat. § 491A.03, subd. 1, or such other appointments as ordered by the Supreme Court. However, in no event shall the judge and shall not act as a lawyer in a proceeding in which the judge has served as a judge or in any other proceeding related thereto.

  5. Cocchiarella v. Driggs

    870 N.W.2d 103 (Minn. Ct. App. 2015)   Cited 1 times
    On February 14, 2014, Cocchiarella filed a petition for unlawful exclusion in which she sought possession of the apartment pursuant to section 504B.375 of the Minnesota Statutes and an award of damages pursuant to section 504B.231 of the Minnesota Statutes. On the same day, an order was issued scheduling a hearing in the Hennepin County housing court, a program of the Hennepin County District Court. SeeMinn.Stat. § 484.013, subd. 1(a) (2014). The order stated that Cocchiarella should “be prepared to address the issue of whether she has standing to bring this action as a residential tenant as defined by Minnesota Statutes section 504B.001, subdivision 12.”

  6. Williams v. State

    No. 66579 (Nev. Feb. 26, 2016)
    For the sake of consistency and to lessen any confusion, we have cited to the versions of the statutes in effect at the time of Williams' crimes. NRS 484.013 (1999 Nev. Stat., ch. 622, §21, at 3415); NRS 484.1245 (1999 Nev. Stat., ch. 622, §20, at 3414); NRS 484.379 (1999 Nev. Stat., ch. 622, §23, at 3415-16); NRS 484.3795 (1999 Nev. Stat., ch. 622, §28, at 3422).

  7. Hammann v. Wells Fargo Bank N.A.

    A19-1304 (Minn. Ct. App. Feb. 24, 2020)

  8. ARU Props., LLC v. Clark

    A16-1126 (Minn. Ct. App. Apr. 3, 2017)
    Tenant failed to pay the $8,400 security. The district court then entered judgment for owner and authorized issuance of a writ of recovery. Tenant timely filed a notice of review and requested that the district court stay the judgment authorizing the writ of recovery pending that review. See Minn. Stat. § 484.013, subd. 6 (2016); Minn. R. Gen. Pract. 611(b). The district court stayed the judgment until completion of review of the housing-court referee's July 1 decision and set a bond hearing. At the conclusion of the bond hearing, in lieu of a bond, the district court ordered tenant to pay into court $8,400 in past-due rent and all future rent amounts to stay the judgment pending the review.

  9. Doran-CSM SE I LLC v. Stone

    No. A21-1134 (Minn. Ct. App. Jun. 6, 2022)
    In the Fourth Judicial District-the venue in this case-a party may seek district court judge review of a housing court referee's confirmed order. See Minn. Stat. § 484.013, subd. 6 (2020); Minn. R. Gen. Prac. 611. Landlord chose not to do that. Tenants argue that attorneys are "ill-advised" to bypass judge review and that this decision affects the "scope of review on appeal." We disagree. A confirmed housing court order is treated no differently on appeal, as long as the appeal is taken from a final judgment. See Dominium Mgmt. Servs. LLC v. Lee, 924 N.W.2d 925, 926-27 (Minn.App. 2019) (explaining this court's jurisdiction when judge review is sought); Tonkaway Ltd. P'ship v. McLain, 433 N.W.2d 443, 443 (Minn.App. 1988) (holding that in eviction actions-formerly unlawful-detainer proceedings-the exclusive mode of appeal is from the judgment).
