Opinion filed June 16, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bradley S. Anderson, of South & Associates, P.C., of Kansas City, Missouri, argued the cause and was on the briefs for appellant.

Karl R. Swartz, of Morris, Laing, Evans, Brock & Kennedy, Chartered, of Wichita, argued the cause and was on the briefs for appellee.


The opinion of the court was delivered by

BEIER, J.:

This foreclosure appeal requires us to determine whether a junior mortgage holder waives its claim to excess sheriff's sale proceeds if it fails to appear and assert its position in a senior mortgage holder's action. We hold that it does.

Defendants James and Carolyn King assumed the debt on certain real property in Wichita in 1997. Fidelity Bank, f/k/a Fidelity
