S-23-0195 Paw K. (Appellee) v. Christian G. (Appellant)
Petition for Further Review from Nebraska Court of Appeals on appeal thereto from the District Court for Lancaster County, Judge Ryan S. Post
Attorneys: Matt Catlett (Law Office of Matt Catlett for Appellant) and Courtney R. Ruwe (Astley Putnam, P.C., L.L.O. for Appellee)
Civil: Domestic Abuse Protection Order
Proceedings below: The district court overruled Appellant’s Motion to Vacate a domestic abuse protection order, which was affirmed by the Court of Appeals in Paw K. v. Christian G., 32 Neb.App. 317, ___ N.W.2d ___ (2023). Appellant filed a Petition for Further Review, which the Supreme Court granted and transferred this case to its docket.
Issues: On Petition for Further Review, Appellant makes the following assignment of error: 1) The Court of Appeals erred in finding no error in the district court sustaining Paw K.’s hearsay objection to Christian’s affidavit; 2) The Court of Appeals erred in holding that Christian waived personal jurisdiction in the district court by not “fil[ing] a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction” and not “specifically stat[ing] in his request for hearing on the protection order that he was challenging personal jurisdiction;” and 3) The Court of Appeals erred in holding that Christian forfeited the issue of personal jurisdiction on appeal by not requesting a bill of exceptions of the January 30, 2023, hearing.
