On August 19, 1976, Martin and Frances Wener filed a complaint with this Court seeking to prevent Roy and Jane Hawthorne from interfering with their possession of a house at 203 Shonto Boulevard, St. Michael's Housing Area, Window Rock, Arizona. The complaint alleged that the parties entered into an oral agreement in Gallup, New Mexico for the Weners to purchase the house and for Roy Hawthorne to assist them in obtaining a transfer of the homesite lease.
