Highlight

A district court’s decision on whether to grant a motion for a continuance will not be reversed on appeal absent an abuse of discretion.
Whether or not a party was a good-faith purchaser without notice of a competing interest is a mixed question of fact and law.
A good-faith purchaser is one who acquires rights without actual or constructive notice of another’s rights.
