John Holmes Construction, Inc. v. R.A. McKell Excavating, Inc.

WILKINS, Associate Chief Justice:

¶ 1 R.A. McKell Excavating, Inc. and Rick McKell (McKell) ask us to review the court of appeals’s decision to affirm the district court’s grant of partial summary judgment in favor of John Holmes Construction, Inc., and its successor in interest Coulter & Smith, Ltd., (collectively, Holmes). Holmes sought relief from a mechanic’s lien that McKell had placed on Holmes’s property. In addition, McKell seeks reversal of the court of appeals’s decision affirming the district court’s award of attorney fees to Holmes in the amount of $25,000. We reverse.
