Dalton v. Franken Construction Companies, Inc.

OPINION

PICKARD, Judge.

1. Petitioner, Robert Hanford Dalton (Dalton), appeals the district court’s determination that he did not timely exercise his statutory right of redemption of a property which had been sold at a judicial sale. Dalton argues that he substantially complied with the time requirements of NMSA 1978, Section 39-5-18(A) (Repl.Pamp.1991) to effect a redemption of the property. Dalton further argues that the equities of the case are such that the district court abused its discretion when it denied Dalton’s petition for redemption. We affirm the decision of the district court.
