Denver District Court

 Tim White v. Katie Wolfe Agron, individually, and Wolfe Design House, LLC

Plaintiff, who owns a historic residence at 2601 Champa St., Denver, says he contracted with defendants in 2015 for performance of interior design services and to obtain extensive materials related to the interior rehabilitation, and over the course of the project defendants submitted numerous invoices for payment representing that certain services had been provided and certain materials purchased and obtained for the project. Plaintiff says he paid numerous invoices based on the representations, and that defendants accepted payment of amounts defendants knew were not owed, including tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of appliances, hardware, countertops, lighting and carpets that were never delivered. Plaintiff says that the project has continued into 2021 and has not yet been completed, that defendants have failed to provide any detailed accounting of their services and materials they assert were provided, and have failed to pay for materials and supplies provided by subcontractors, requiring plaintiff to pay them directly. Plaintiff seeks damages to be proven at trial, but at least $322,000.

Kathleen A. Harrison, Mark F. Boeddeker and Cary B. Egan, in their capacities of Co-trustees of the Catherine Boeddeker Survivor’s Trust and in their capacities as directors of Cross Mountain Ranch Corporation v. Matthew J. Boeddeker, in his capacity as Co-trustee of the Catherine Boeddeker Survivor’s Trust and in his capacity as director of Cross Mountain Ranch Corporation

This is a family dispute concerning plaintiffs’ and defendant’s status as directors of a closely held family business, Cross Mountain Ranch Corporation (CMRC), and the authority to market and sell real property owned by Cross Mountain Ranch Limited Partnership (CMRLP), a limited partnership of which CMRC is the sole general partner. Plaintiffs and defendant are siblings exercising control of family trusts and businesses. At the center of the dispute is real property located, in part, in Routt County, known as Cross Mountain Ranch, held by CMRLP. Plaintiffs say a third-party recently offered to buy portions of the ranch’s real property, commonly known as Fish Creek Lodge, Dunckley Ridge Ranch, and Pyramid Peak Ranch, and together referred to as Upper Cross Mountain Ranches, and defendant wishes to block the potential sale to retain personal use of the ranch. Plaintiffs say that although the parties were duly elected and have jointly acted as directors of CMRC since 2018 and, as such, through CMRC, in its capacity as the sole general partner of CMRLP, manage CMRLP, defendant now challenges plaintiffs’ election as directors of CMRC and their authority to market and sell the Upper Cross Mountain Ranches. Plaintiffs say the challenges lack merit, and as directors, have the discretion to direct CMRC to cause CMRLP to sell the property if they deem it prudent to so do, and seek a declaration from the court confirming their roles and the scope of their authority.
