COMES NOW the Plaintiff Liberty Towers Owners Association, Inc. an Oklahoma Corporation by and through its attorney of record David M. Dryer, Dryer and Associates, PC and prays this court enter an order transferring the current case to the civil district for enforcement and collection of judgment. The Plaintiff states the following facts in support of its Motion:
1. The Plaintiff operates the Liberty Tower Owners Association, Inc. which is an corporation charged with the duty of collecting dues for Liberty Towers Association of Condominium Owners and is further charged with the duty to keep and maintain the common areas and other duties set forth in the Declaration of Unit Ownership.
2. That the duties and authorities of Liberty Towers Owners Association, Inc. are set forth in the Declaration of Unit Ownership Estates for Liberty Tower Condominiums which is recorded in the land records office in and for Tulsa County in book 4480 at page 765.
3. Under the authority vested in the Association the Association can collect and foreclose for unpaid dues accrued and accruing.
4. That on December 22, 2025 the Judge in the District Court in and for Tulsa County, Small Claims Court Division, under case SC-2025-14813, entered a Journal Entry of Judgment in favor of the Plaintiff against the Defendant Marsha Rentie Crooms in the amount of $10,000.00 for unpaid dues accrued and accruing, interest, costs and fees.
5. Since the judgment was entered, no payments have been made toward the judgment and additional dues are accruing.
6. That pursuant to the terms of the Declaration of Unit Ownership Estates for Liberty Tower Condominiums unpaid dues constitute a lien on the condominium unit in which the dues were assessed.
