Board of Managers of 6226 Northwood Condominium Ass'n v. Dwyer
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM DECISION
Impgene Dwyer appeals from the summary judgment entered on a petition filed against her for unlawful detainer by The Board of Managers of 6226 Northwoods Condpminium (“the Board”).
The Board filed a motion for summary judgment asserting the following as uncon-troverted facts: Dwyer owned a condominium unit at 6226 Northwoods; the Board successfully purchased her unit at a sheriffs sale and, pursuant to the sheriffs deed of sale, obtained title thereto; and that Dwyer willfully refused to relinquish possession of the unit. Each of these facts was supported by reference to the petition, an affidavit and the deed of sale. The deed of sale indicates that the sale was pursuant to a 2014 judgment entered against Dwyer and in favor of the Board, which enforced a lien the Board had filed on the unit after Dwyer’s failure to pay assessments under her condominium agreement.
Dwyer admitted some of these facts and denied others, but without any specific reference to the discovery, exhibits or affidavits as required by Rule 74.04(c)(2). “A denial may not rest upon the mere allegations or denials of the party’s pleading.” Rule 74.04(c)(2). Therefore, all of those facts were deemed admitted. Id. Dwyer set forth an additional “controverted fact” claiming she did not receive adequate notice and demand for possession, but that was also not supported by any reference to the pleadings, discovery, exhibits or affidavits. See Rule 74.04(c)(2). The Board replied that Dwyer had actually received all the nptice to which she was entitled—both of thp sale and of the unlawful detainer petition—with supporting affidavits and copies of the notices.
AFFIRMED.
