PER CURIAM.

Jim Schrock and McAninch Corporation (defendants in the underlying action) brought this original writ of certiorari challenging the small claims court's action in setting aside a judgment entered against them in small claims court. They maintain the court exceeded its jurisdiction in addressing a posttrial motion and improperly applied Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure 256 and 257 in setting aside the judgment. We sustain the writ.
