Fenner v. Parkinson

This matter is before this court upon the appeal of defendant, Ronald E. Parkinson, from a judgment rendered by the Franklin County Municipal Court in favor of plaintiff, Paul E. Fenner.

To satisfy certain alleged unpaid taxes, the Internal Revenue Service conducted a public auction on January 4, 1989 of defendant's residential property located at 1112 Carolyn Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. Plaintiff was the successful bidder and he eventually obtained a deed from the Internal Revenue Service dated July 18, 1989. This federal tax deed was subsequently recorded on August 28,1989.
