CHS CAPITAL LLC v. VOR (2025)

ORDER DIRECTING ISSUANCE OF JUDGMENT OF AFFIRMANCE

The Court considered all of the briefs filed in the above-entitled matter, together with the appeal record, and concluded pursuant to SDCL 15-26A-87.1(A), that it is manifest on the face of the briefs and the record that the appeal is without merit on the ground that the issues on appeal are clearly controlled by settled South Dakota law or federal law binding upon the states (SDCL 15-26A-87.1(A)(1)), now, therefore, it is

ORDERED that a judgment affirming the Order and Judgment of the circuit court be entered forthwith.

Steven R. Jensen, Chief Justice

(Justices Janine M. Kern and Patricia J. DeVaney dissent, concluding that the circuit court abused its discretion when denying Appellants’ motion to stay the consideration of Appellee VOR, Inc.’s motion for summary judgment on its crossclaim until the related claims in file 25CIV23-15 are finally disposed.) PARTICIPATING: Chief Justice Steven R. Jensen and Justices Janine M. Kern, Mark E. Salter, Patricia J. DeVaney and Scott P. Myren.
