Olson v. Ronhovde

OPINION

NORTON, Judge.

This is an appeal from the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in an action for breach of contract. Appellant Todd Ronhovde and respondent Reuben Island entered into a three year lease for farmland owned by Island’s mother-in-law, respondent Beulah Olson. Respondents brought suit for breach of contract when Ronhovde notified them that he would not continue to farm the land. The trial court ultimately granted summary judgment for respondents. Ronhovde claims that the trial court erred because the lease was invalid under the statute of frauds. We affirm.

FACTS
