Narrative Opinion Summary
The plaintiff, a seller, secured a judgment against the defendant-buyer in a land sale contract, subsequently purchasing the property at a sheriff's sale and receiving a sheriff's deed. An intervenor, representing three junior lienholders who acquired their interests while the action was pending, sought to challenge the deed and obtain permission for statutory redemption procedures concerning the property. The plaintiff did not include the intervenor or her assignors as defendants in the initial action. The court dismissed the intervenor's second amended complaint, ruling that she does not possess statutory redemption rights in this context, referencing the case of Portland Mtg. Co. v. Creditors Prot. Ass’n. The dismissal was affirmed.
