Garcia V. Marquez

Plaintiff Caesar Garcia brought an action to impose a trust on land he had previously conveyed to his daughter Dolores Marquez. Defendant Marquez appeals from the district court's imposition of a constructive trust claiming: 1) the evidence was insufficient to justify imposition of a constructive trust; 2) plaintiff's complaint was barred by the statute of limitations or the doctrine of laches; 3) the clean hands doctrine should apply to preclude imposition of the trust; and 4) plaintiff Garcia waived any claims he may have had to the property.
