Heading: res judicata & collateral estoppel

Text: The Bredthauers next assert that the closely related doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel bar CSSA and TSP from raising the statute of repose defense. However, the Bredthauers failed to explain why or how these two doctrines bar CSSA and TSP from raising the statute of repose defense. Concerning the merits of the two doctrines, the Bredthauers make only the following conclusive statement: The Appellees are    collaterally estopped and prohibited by res judicata from asserting a new statute of limitations. As we have held numerous times before, arguments not supported by cogent argument or authority will not be considered by this court. Weisbrod v. Ely, 767 P.2d 171, 176 (Wyo.1989).
