04/09/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order/Briefing Reinstated. When our preliminary review of the docketing statement and the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(e) revealed a potential jurisdictional defect, we directed appellant Northwest Partners to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Northwest Partners filed a timely response. The district court certified the order as final under NRCP 54(b). We therefore conclude that the jurisdictional defect has been cured, and that this appeal may proceed. fn2[The appeals of appellants Nielsen, Gezelin and Phillips were dismissed with prejudice on February 2, 2004; Northwest Partners, L.P., is the sole remaining appellant.] Northwest Partners shall have 70 days from the date of this order within which to file and serve the opening brief and appendix.

11/17/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motion. Briefing for this appeal was completed on September 16, 2004, with the filing the reply brief of appellant Northwest Partners, L.P., a Nevada Limited Partnership (Northwest). fn1[Appellants Robert Nielsen, John Gezelin and Cloyd Phillips were dismissed from this appeal pursuant to the parties' stipulation on February 2, 2004.] Respondent Picerne has since moved to strike pages 14 through 18 of the reply brief in which Northwest has raised a judicial estoppel argument. Alternatively, Picerne moves for permission to file a supplemental brief addressing the issue. Northwest opposes Picerne's motion to strike and to file a supplemental brief. Finally, Northwest requests permission to file a responsive supplemental brief should this court grant Picerne leave to file a supplemental brief addressing the judicial estoppel issue. We conclude that it is premature at this time to determine whether the judicial estoppel argument in Northwest's reply brief is improperly raised. Accordingly, we deny the motion to strike. We further deny Picerne's motion for leave to file a supplemental brief addressing the judicial estoppel argument. We remind the parties that in resolving this appeal, this court will disregard any issue that is improperly raised on appeal or any factual matters or arguments improperly included in the parties' briefs. 04-21233
