Court Report

SUPERIOR COURT

John F. Strohmaier, Judge

Civil Judgments

Jonathon Luke Gullard (LG Painting and Sons), of Davenport, must pay $1,237.54 in tax obligations to the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries.

The court on Aug. 19 denied a request by Barbara Rae Nielsen and Jerald Kay Nielsen for a domestic violence temporary protection order against SheriLynn Nielsen, who had received no notification of the action.

At the request of the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, the court reconsidered and amended its July 14 judgment to award $1,796.75 from former sheriff’s deputy Jesse Allen to cover the state’s costs for transcripts of depositions used during a jury trial he requested in appealing the state’s denial of industrial insurance benefits. This brings the total financial judgment against him to $2,121.75. The six jurors who heard the matter unanimously upheld the state’s determination.

New Civil Cases

Claiming negligence by Lindsey L. Barajas, of Post Falls, Idaho, the driver of a vehicle involved in an Aug. 19, 2012, rollover collision on U.S. 2, petitioner Courtney M.
