Appellant, a trucking business, challenges as an abuse of discretion the district court’s denial of its motion to stay an action to evict appellant from commercial property that it has occupied for more than 30 years pending resolution of an existing, separate action that would resolve possession and ownership of the subject property and all other claims appellant had asserted against respondent, the record titleholder. Appellant seeks reversal of the eviction verdict and asks that this court remand with instructions to the district court to stay the eviction action pending resolution of the first-filed action. In the alternative, appellant argues that it is entitled to a new trial in the eviction action, arguing that the district court committed reversible error by failing to submit appellant’s affirmative defenses to the jury through instructions and special-verdict *314
