10/20/1995Order/ProceduralFiled Case Processing Order. On June 8, 1994, prior to the commencement of briefing, appellants moved to amend the caption in this matter. We entered an order on July 13, 1994, granting the motion. The parties subsequently filed various motions concerning the briefing schedule. We conclude that modification of the briefing schedule is warranted. APPEAL OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION. Highland Construction, Inc., and Offenhauser Development Company shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file a supplemental answering brief which responds to appellants' strict products liability argument. CROSS-APPEAL OF P & H CONSTRUCTION AND CLARENCE POEHLAND. P & H and Poehland shall have 20 days from the date of this order to show cause why this court should not dismiss their cross-appeal and disapprove, as moot, their stipulations filed December 13, 1994, and January 23, 1995, for extensions of time to file a reply brief on cross-appeal. In spite of the apparent lack of jurisdiction over P & H and Poehland's cross-appeal, it appears that we are not required to strike from these parties' answering brief the argument raised on cross-appeal. Therefore, an acknowledgment by P & H and Poehland that this court lacks jurisdiction over their cross-appeal will not require the striking of the argument originally tendered on cross-appeal. Instead, the argument will simply be deemed a proper argument in the answering brief in support of the judgment. CROSS-APPEAL OF THE CITY OF RENO. The City of Reno has cross-appealed from the order dismissing its cross-claim for indemnification and contribution. The clerk of this court shall modify the caption on this court's docket consistent with the caption appearing on this order. PENDING MOTIONS REGARDING BRIEFING. The clerk of this court shall forthwith file Highland Construction and Offenhauser and Oetjen's answering brief, and the (2) joinders in this brief, submitted on November 18, 1994. The clerk shall file "Appellants' Reply/Answering Brief" submitted provisionally on November 22, 1994. The Clerk shall file the City of Reno's reply brief on cross-appeal submitted provisionally on January 17, 1995. We grant the motion filed December 12, 1994 by the Consulting Engineers Council of Nevada and the Builders Association of Northern Nevada ("amici curiae") seeking leave to file an amici curiae brief in support of respondents' position on appeal. The clerk shall forthwith file the proposed amici brief, submitted provisionally on December 12, 1994. Appellants shall have 30 days form the date of this order to file a supplemental reply brief to the amici curiae brief. SCHEDULING OF ORAL ARGUMENT. The clerk shall schedule this matter for oral argument on the next available argument calendar. Argument shall be limited to 60 minutes.

We grant respondents' motion. That portion of our October 20, 1995, order directing Highland Construction and Offenhauser Development to file a supplemental answering brief is hereby vacated. On November 17, 1995, respondents filed a motion to enlarge the amount of time allotted for oral argument. We deny the motion for an enlargement of the allotted oral argument time.
