PARADISE VALLEY AZ 85253
JUDGE COFFEY
MINUTE ENTRY
The Court has considered Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Statements of
Facts. No response was filed and the deadline for filing a response has expired.
Motions for summary judgment “should be granted if the facts produced in support of the
claim or defense have so little probative value, given the quantum of evidence required, that
reasonable people could not agree with the conclusion advanced by the proponent of the claim or
defense.” Orme School v. Reeves, 166 Ariz. 301, 309, 802 P.2d 1000, 1008 (1990). When
considering a motion for summary judgment, all evidence of the non-moving party is to be
believed, and all justifiable inferences are to be drawn in the non-movant’s favor. Id. at 309-10,
802 P.2d at 1008-9. Summary judgment should not be used as a substitute for a trial simply
because the Court may believe the moving party will probably prevail or that the moving party
should prevail at trial. Id.
The party moving for summary judgment must produce evidence that it believes
demonstrates the absence of a genuine issue of material fact and must explain why summary
judgment is warranted. Nat'l Bank of Ariz. v. Thruston, 218 Ariz. 112, 115 (App. 2008). If the
non-moving party has the burden of proof of the claim or defense at trial, the moving party need
SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY
CV 2024-034695
04/14/2025
Docket Code 019
Form V000A
Page 2
not disprove the nonmoving party's claim or defense, but need only point out the lack of evidence
on an essential element of the claim or defense. Id. at 117. If the moving party meets its burden,
the burden shifts to the nonmoving party to present sufficient evidence demonstrating the existence
of a disputed fact. Id. at 119. The nonmoving party cannot then rest on its pleadings, but must call
to the Court's attention evidence to explain why the motion should be denied. Id. The opponents
of a motion for summary judgment do not raise a genuine issue of fact by merely stating in the
record that such an issue exists. Rather, they must show that competent evidence is available which
will justify a trial on the issue. Flowers v. K-Mart Corp., 126 Ariz. 495, 499 (App. 1980). “If the
party with the burden of proof on the claim or defense cannot respond to the motion by showing
that there is evidence creating a genuine issue of fact on the element in question, then the motion
for summary judgment should be granted.” Orme School at 310, 802 P.2d at 1009.
Because there are no genuine issues of material fact and Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as
a matter of law,
IT IS ORDERED granting Plaintiff’s Motion for summary Judgment.
Because this matter arises out of a contract, pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-341.01, Plaintiff is
entitled to an award of the reasonable attorneys’ fees it may have incurred in this matter. Plaintiff
may file an application for an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and a proposed form of
judgment by no later than April 29, 2025.

THE COURT FINDS that Defendant has received proper notice of this hearing and of
the filing and has failed to appear. Therefore, there is good cause to proceed in her absence.
Counsel for Plaintiff is advised to submit a different form of order, and a standard
application for garnishment or a post-judgment filing to be served upon Defendant.
Discussion is held regarding Plaintiff's Verified Application for Prejudgment Provisional
Remedies (With Notice) and Motion for Prejudgment Discovery in Aid of Enforcement, filed
May 14, 2025.
Pursuant to matters discussed on the record,
IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff's [May 14, 2025] Verified Application for
Prejudgment Provisional Remedies (With Notice) and Motion for Prejudgment Discovery in Aid
of Enforcement, without prejudice, only because judgment has already been entered. Plaintiff
may seek post-judgment remedies that it deems is appropriate.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant shall be given notice of any post-
judgment remedies sought by Plaintiff, as well as an opportunity to file a response.

JUDGE MCDOWELL
RULING ON POST-JUDGMENT FILINGS
Pending before the Court are three motions filed by Defendant Deborah Minamyer after the
Judgment was entered on May 12, 2025 and after the Show Cause hearing was held on May 30,
2025. Montelenas Villas Homeowners Association filed two motions in June. Plaintiff Dessaules
Law Group filed one Motion on July 9, 2025 that is resolved by this Court’s orders on Ms.
Minamyer’s motions, to that motion will be addressed as well. Each will be addressed separately.
MOTION TO VACATE JUDGMENT AND EXTEND STAY.
On June 6, 2025 Ms. Minamyer filed a Defendant’s Motion to Vacate Judgment and Strike Post-
Stay Filings and Motion to Enforce Stay Request for Sanctions Under Rule 11 and Motion to
Extend Stay for 90 days due to Out of State Probate Case. Plaintiff filed a Response on June 25,
2025. No reply has been filed and the time for filing a reply expired on July 7, 2025 (including
mailing days).
SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY
CV 2024-034695

Page 2
This Motion is premised upon Ms. Minamyer’s belief that Judge Coffey granted her February 28,
2025 Motion to Stay. He did not. On April 8, 2025 Judge Coffey entered a ruling denying the
Motion to Stay.1
Until and unless a stay is granted a party to an action is obligated to comply with all deadlines set
by the Court and by the Rules of Civil Procedure. Ms. Minamyer did not. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED denying Ms. Minamyer’s request to vacate the Summary Judgment entered
April 14, 2025.
IT IS ORDERED denying Ms. Minamyer’s request to strike filings made by Plaintiff after March
26, 2025.
IT IS ORDERED denying the request to enforce the stay because a stay was never entered.
IT IS ORDERED denying Ms. Minamyer’s request to impose sanctions on Plaintiff.
Ms. Minamyer also asked that the stay be extended. The Court cannot extend a stay that was never
granted, so the Court will consider this to be a request for entry of a stay.
IT IS ORDERED denying Ms. Minamyer’s request for a stay.
MOTION TO INTERPLEAD FUNDS and MOTION TO INTERVENE
On June 10, 2025 Montelena Villas Homeowners Association Inc., filed a Motion to Intervene for
the Purpose of Interpleader and a motion entitled Montelena Villas Homeowners Association,
Inc.’s Motion to Interplead Funds. Neither Plaintiff nor Defendant filed a response to either of
these motions. The time for filing a response expired June 30, 2025 (including mailing days).
In these motions, the Homeowners Association, which reached an agreement with Ms. Minamyer
in 2024 (see more discussion below), seeks to intervene in this action to deposit the settlement
funds owed to Ms. Minamyer for the Court to distribute the funds between the competing
claimants.
IT IS ORDERED permitting the intervention of Montelena Villas Homeowners Association.
IT IS ORDERED permitting Montelena Villas Homeowners Association to deposit the sum of
$180,000.00 into the registry of the Court for distribution among the competing claimants to those
funds.
1
The Court notes, in the event there is any confusion, that Ms. Minamyer also sought a stay
in matter CV2022-001790. That request for a stay was also denied by an order filed with the Clerk
of the Court on March 27, 2025.

IT IS ORDERED upon deposit of the $180,000.00 into the registry of the Court, Montelena Villas
Homeowners Association is discharged from further liability regarding those funds in this action.
This release does not affect any liability in matter CV2022-001790 – discharge of liability in that
matter will need to be obtained from the judicial officer presiding over that matter.
MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
On June 20, 2025 Deborah Minamyer filed Defendant’s Motion to Strike Plaintiff’s Motion for
Summary Judgment as Filed During Court-Ordered Stay. On July 9, 2025 Plaintiff filed its
Response. No reply has been filed and the time for filing a reply has not yet passed, but since a
reply cannot raise new issues, nothing stated in the reply will affect the outcome of this motion.
This Motion is also premised upon Ms. Minamyer’s belief that Judge Coffey granted her February
28, 2025 Motion to Stay. He did not. On April 8, 2025 Judge Coffey entered a ruling denying the
Motion to Stay. Until and unless a stay is granted a party to an action is obligated to comply with
all deadlines set by the Court and by the Rules of Civil Procedure. Ms. Minamyer did not.
Therefore, IT IS ORDERED denying Ms. Minamyer’s Motion to Strike Plaintiff’s Motion for
Summary Judgment as Filed During Court-Ordered Stay.
In the Response, Plaintiff seeks sanctions against Defendant for responding to three post-judgment
motions all of which Plaintiff contends are attempts to perpetrate fraud on the court.
The Court will address the request for sanctions after that issue has been fully briefed.
RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
On June 20, 2025 Deborah Minamyer filed Defendant’s Response in Opposition to Motion for
Summary Judgment.
In this Response, Ms. Minamyer argues Plaintiff filed the Motion for Summary Judgment during a
court-ordered stay. That is incorrect. The Court never entered an order staying this action.
Plaintiff’s Motion was timely.
Ms. Minamyer also argues no settlement was reached between herself and the Homeowners
Association. That issue was litigated in matter CV2022-001790 and Judge Blanchard issued a
ruling on January 27, 2025. He found that a valid and binding settlement agreement was reached
between Montelenas Villas Homeowners Association and Deborah Minamyer.2 Judge Blanchard
also found Ms. Minamyer was represented by Plaintiff at the time that settlement agreement was
reached. This Court will not relitigate the issue of whether a valid settlement agreement was

Judge Blanchard denied a subsequent Motion to Amend, Correct and Clarify Order aimed
at the January 27, 2025 Order.

reached when that issue has already been fully litigated in another action involving the same
parties.
Even if Ms. Minamyer’s Response was timely (it was not) it fails to raise any disputed issue of
material fact. The Response was not supported by a Statement of Facts and it contains no facts to
support its contentions. Further some of the contentions raised in the Response are incorrect.
IT IS ORDERED affirming the April 14, 2024 order (filed with the Clerk of the Court on April
15, 2025) granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
MOTION TO STRIKE DEFENDANT’S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT
On July 10, 2025, Dessaules Law Group filed Plaintiff’s Motion to Strike Defendant’s Response
in Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Request for Sanctions. Plaintiff
seeks to strike from the Court’s record Defendant’s untimely response to their motion for summary
judgment because it contains factual inaccuracies and does not comply with Rule 56,
Ariz.R.Civ.Proc.
The Court has already affirmed the April 14, 2024 order (filed with the Clerk of the Court on April
15, 2025) granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED
denying the Motion to Strike as moot.

Judge Coffey entered a ruling on Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment in April 2025. Ms.

LATER
To the extent Ms. Minamyer’s request at the hearing was an oral motion for reconsideration, it is
denied. Ms. Minamyer is encouraged to read the July 15, 2025 ruling carefully, because it
addresses many of the concerns raised during her argument.
The issues which remain to be addressed are relatively procedural in nature and should be able to
be resolved without much further delay because the funds have been deposited into the Court
registry.
IT IS ORDERED setting a dismissal date of November 1, 2025 for this matter. The parties are
advised to act quickly so this matter can be resolved promptly.

JUDGE MCDOWELL
ORDER FOR DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Release and Disbursement of Interpled Funds
filed August 22, 2025; Defendant’s Objection to Plaintiff’s Motion for Release and Disbursement
of Interpled Funds and Request for Release of Funds to Defendant filed September 9, 2025; and
Plaintiff’s Reply in Support of Motion for Release and Disbursement of Interpled Funds filed
September 22, 2025.
By way of background, in 2022, an action was filed against Ms. Minamyer by Montelenas Villas
Homeowners Association under Maricopa County cause number CV2022-001790. Ms. Minamyer
was represented by Dessaules Law Group in that action. That matter was presided over by Judge
John Blanchard. The parties in that action attended a mediation in March 2024. Following the
mediation a mediator’s proposal was issued and accepted by counsel for Ms. Minamyer. In August
2024 Ms. Minamyer signed the settlement agreement. Subsequently, counsel for Ms. Minamyer,
at her direction, filed a notice of disavowal of the settlement and then withdrew as her counsel.
The Homeowner’s Association filed a motion to enforce the settlement. In January 2025, Judge
Blanchard heard oral arguments concerning the settlement agreement and subsequently entered an
order affirming the settlement between Montelenas Villas Homeowners Association and Ms.

Minamyer. Judge Blanchard’s January 2025 order is a final order pursuant to Rule 54(c),
Ariz.R.Civ.Proc.
In December 2024, Dessaules Law Group filed this action to collect the fees charged to Ms.
Minamyer in the CV2022-001790 action filed by Montelenas Villas Homeowners Association. In
May 2025, Judge Coffey entered a judgment in favor of Dessaules Law Group in the sum of
$110,509.99 plus post-judgment interest at the rate of 9.5 percent from May 9, 2025 until paid in
full.
Also in May 2025, Montelenas Villas Homeowners Association intervened in this action seeking
to tender the settlement funds from its settlement with Ms. Minamyer to the Court for
disbursement. Its request for intervention was granted. In July 2025 it deposited $180,000.00 into
the Court registry and was discharged from this action.
Now Dessaules Law Group requests this Court disburse the $180,000.00. Dessaules Law Group
requests that $121,538.58 be paid to it. This sum is comprised of $110,000.00 in principal, $509.99
in costs, and $11,028.59 in post-judgment interest incurred between May 2025 and August 31,
2025. The Court notes the interest calculation prepared by Dessaules Law Group is incorrect.1
Ms. Minamyer’s Objection raises the issue of whether a settlement agreement was actually reached
in the underlying litigation and the timing of events in that litigation. Those are not issues before
this Court. This Court has no authority to modify, set-aside, or in any manner alter the decision
rendered by Judge Blanchard in CV2022-001790, that authority resides with Judge Blanchard and
the appellate courts of this state.2 Additionally, Ms. Minamyer argues Dessaules Law Group has
no right to the funds. However, Judge Coffey ruled otherwise when he granted Dessaules Law
Group’s Motion for Summary Judgment and entered a judgment in its favor.
IT IS ORDERED granting Dessaules Law Group’s Motion for Release and Disbursement of
Interpled Funds.
1
Post judgment interest is simple interest. The May 2025 Judgment awarded post-
judgment interest not pre-judgment interest. The number of days which elapsed between May 9,
2025 and August 31, 2025 is 114. To calculate the daily interest charges we determine the total
interest accrued over a year ($110,509.99 x .095 = $10,498.44) and divide that sum by 365 to
arrive at $28.76 per day. If we multiply the daily interest rate of $28.76 by the number of days
that judgment has been outstanding – 154 days as of October 10, 2025 – we arrive at the total
interest charges incurred - $4,429.48.

A party cannot challenge the decision of one trial judge by seeking review by another
trial judge. See Powell-Cerkoney v. TCR-Montana Ranch Joint Venture, II, 176 Ariz. 275
(1993).

MINUTE ENTRY
The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend the Court’s October 13, 2025 Order for
Disbursement of Funds. The Court notes that Order resulted from ruling on a motion to release
funds. The Court had not intended to enter a final judgment because that was not requested in the
motion.
The Court elects to treat Plaintiff’s October 13, 2025 Motion as one for entry of a final judgment
and entry of specific orders to the Clerk of the Court for disbursement. The Court will address this
motion when the briefing period provided under Rule 7.1 is complete.

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO STRIKE/ MOTION TO STAY
The Court is in receipt of the following filings:
December 10, 2025 filing by Ms. Minamyer entitled Defendant’s Response and Objection to
Plaintiff’s Reply; Motion to Strike; Motion to Stay Proceedings and Disbursement Pending
Appeal.
December 10, 2025 filing by Ms. Minamyer entitled Limited Status Notice regarding
Disbursement of Funds Pending Appeal.
December 17, 2025 filing by Dessaules Law Group entitled Plaintiff’s Response to
Defendant’s December 10, 2025 filings.
As indicated previously, no appeal has been filed in this action, but an appeal was filed in the
underlying case (CV2022-001790). Thus, this Court was not divested of authority to modify the
judgment entered. Even if an appeal was filed in this case, the Court does not lose authority to
enforce a judgment pursuant to Ariz.R.Civ.App. Proc. 8(a) until and unless a motion to stay is
granted and a bond is posted. See Rule 7, Ariz.R.Civ.App.Proc.

The Court previously ordered disbursement of the funds held in the court registry. Ms. Minamyer’s
Motion to Stay comes too late.
IT IS ORDERED denying the relief sought in the December 10, 2025 Defendant’s Response and
Objection to Plaintiff’s Reply; Motion to Strike; Motion to Stay Proceedings and Disbursement
Pending Appeal.
In the Limited Status Notice, Ms. Minamyer acknowledges receipt of the check and reiterates that
an appeal is pending in the underlying case. Again, no appeal is pending in this case and no motion
to stay has been filed.
The Court will take no action related to the December 10, 2025 Limited Status Notice.
