Heading: reinstating harold peebles as a defendant

Text: ¶ 27 Brookside argues that the court of appeals erred in disregarding its arguments pertaining to Harold Peebles. The trial court dismissed the causes of action which pertained to Harold Peebles based on its specific findings that Brookside presented no evidence at trial that indicated any involvement on the part of Harold Peebles. While Brookside mentioned that Harold Peebles was dismissed as a defendant in its brief to the court of appeals, it did not raise any argument accompanied by legal authority addressing the trial court's dismissal of Harold Peebles as a defendant. Brookside simply asserts that Harold was a co-owner. As Brookside's argument was not adequately briefed before the court of appeals disputing this dismissal, we find no error in the court of appeals' alleged failure to address Harold Peebles' status. See, e.g., Springville Citizens for a Better Cmty. v. City of Springville, 1999 UT 25, ¶ 21 n. 2, 979 P.2d 332 (noting that appellate courts need not address issues where plaintiffs fail to brief them adequately).
