            13. □   Expunge or seal this court file.

                        a.         □          Plaintiff's case is sufficiently without basis in fact or law, which may include lack of jurisdiction over the case. Expungement is clearly in the interests of justice and those interests are not outweighed by the public's interest in knowing about the record. Minn. Stat. § 484.014

                        b.         □          The court has inherent authority to expunge this file. State v. C.A., 304 N.W.2d 353 (Minn. 1981); Minn. Stat. § 504B.345, Subd. 1 (c)(2).

                        c.         □          This case involved a foreclosed mortgage or cancelled contract for deed and under Minn. Stat. § 484.014, subd. 3,

                                    I.         □          I moved before Plaintiff filed this case, or

                                    ii.        □          I am a tenant and did not receive a proper lease termination notice under Minn. Stat. § 504B.285.

                        d.         □          The court may expunge this file at the time judgment is entered or after that time. Minn. Stat. § 504B.345, Subd. 1 (c)(2).

            14. □   I request a stay of this action without bond for 90 days to allow me to file an action to challenge an illegal foreclosure reconveyance. Minn. Stat. §  325N.18.

            15. □   Vulnerable adult financial exploitation compensatory damages or $10,000, whichever is greater. Minn. Stat. §§ 626.557, Subd. 20, 626.5572, Subd. 9.

            16. □   Attorney fees:

                        a.         □          Do not award Plaintiff attorney fees beyond $5.00 in a nonpayment of rent case. Minn. Stat. § 504B.291 (formerly 504.02); Cheyenne Land Co. v. Wilde, 463 N.W.2d 539 (Minn. Ct. App. 1990).

                        b.         □          Award me attorney fees, because my lease began on or after August 1, 2011, or was renewed on or after August 1, 2012, it provides for attorney fees to Plaintiff’s or the landlord’s attorneys, so I am entitled to attorney fees if I prevail. Minn. Stat. §  504B.172.

            17. □   Other: ___________________________________________________________.
