Daniel G. Kopp and Lois M. Shufeldt V‪.‬

Plaintiffs Daniel G. Kopp and Lois M. Shufeldt, husband and wife, brought suit against defendants Richard Franks and Faith Franks seeking specific performance of a contract and damages for breach of the same contract. The contract provided that defendants were to build a home for plaintiffs for $210,000.00 on a lot selected by plaintiffs but purchased by defendants. Plaintiffs filed a lis pendens notice when they filed their lawsuit. Defendants counterclaimed seeking actual and punitive damages from plaintiffs for abuse of process in the filing of lis pendens. The trial court made detailed findings of fact and Conclusions of law followed by judgment and order denying plaintiffs' claim for specific performance and attorney's fees. The trial court's judgment denied defendants' damage claim for abuse of process and defendants' claim for attorney's fees. Judgment for $13,176.78 was entered for plaintiffs, being a sum equal to the $13,000.00 down payment plus an additional $176.78 paid by plaintiffs for materials in the house. Plaintiffs appeal from the judgment denying their claim for specific performance. Defendants cross-appealed from the denial of their abuse of process claim; denial of their claim for attorney's fees; and the judgment for $13,176.68. This court affirms.
