Heading: Trade Names and Gifts

Text: The only discussion in Leroy Grams' brief concerning the instructions pertaining to trade names and gifts of bank accounts is that the instructions he offered in that regard were correct statements of the law and should have been given. That statement, however, falls far short of sustaining his burden to show that the district court's failure in that regard prejudiced him. Moreover, not only must a claimed prejudicial error be assigned, it must also be discussed in the brief of the asserting party; an appellate court will not consider assignments of error which are not discussed in the brief. Anderson/Couvillon v. Nebraska Dept. of Soc. Servs., 248 Neb. 651, 538 N.W.2d 732 (1995); Neb. Ct. R. of Prac. 9D(l)d (rev. 1996).
