1 This appeal involves two related cases: a foreclosure case, in which Paul and Kathy Mannick (the Mannicks) foreclosed on a judgment lien against Robin Wakelands (Wakeland) property, and a waste case, in which the Mannicks and their successor in interest, Coppler & Mannick, P.C., sought to recover damages from Wakeland for actions she took to devalue the property that was the subject of the foreclosure case. The district court denied Wakelands motion to enter judgment on an earlier mandate from this Court in the foreclosure case, in which she was awarded a $30,000 homestead exemption, until there had been a hearing in the pending waste case. Wakeland was found to have committed waste, and in addition to damages, the district court issued an order equitably estopping her from pursuing the homestead exemption to which she was legally entitled in the foreclosure case. We consolidate these cases on appeal to consider the issue of the district courts equitable powers, holding that while equitable estoppel was not applicable to this case, equity demands that the court supervise the payments so that Wakeland is required to at least partially satisfy the Mannicks judgment against her.
