Description
This case raises a question of priority between successive assignments of a purchasers interest in a contract for the sale of land located in Wyoming. One of the assignments was made pursuant to an order entered in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, and the extraterritorial effect of the Wyoming statute providing for the filing of a notice lis pendens is a critical factor. The district court found in favor of the assignee pursuant to the order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, but it also awarded damages to the competing assignee for amounts he had paid on the contract for the sale of land. We shall hold that the Wyoming lis pendens statute has no extraterritorial efficacy, and for the reasons indicated below we will reverse the judgment of the district court.
