Heading: Are the Gooding County parties judicially estopped from challenging the judgment of the district court?

Text: Mr. Bettencourt argues on appeal that the Gooding County parties are judicially estopped from challenging the judgment of the district court. He contends that after the district court's decision in this case, Gooding County stipulated that the Wybenga case should be dismissed with prejudice on the ground that Ordinance 66 was void. There is nothing in the record identifying the Wybenga case. There is presently pending on appeal before this Court the case of Gooding County v. Wybenga , but the Wybenga case to which Mr. Bettencourt refers is apparently a different case. The case pending on appeal was not dismissed by stipulation. The Gooding County parties refer in their reply brief to Wybenga I and Wybenga II. [4] There is simply no factual record upon which to base the claim of judicial estoppel. Therefore, we will not consider that issue on appeal.
