Heading: Judgment and Decree of Foreclosure

Text: [¶ 20] The appellants argue that the district court erred in entering its Judgment and Decree of Foreclosure. Initially they argue that they were denied the opportunity to be properly heard when the district court dismissed their respective counterclaims and struck their demands for jury trial. Because the appellants have not shown any error in the district court's actions relating to these decisions, this argument is moot. [¶ 21] Appellants also argue that the warranty deed of record should have been found to be fraudulent. The appellants find relevance in this issue by claiming that a fraudulent warranty deed of record somehow renders the mortgage and guaranty invalid. The appellants fail to present a cogent legal argument or citation to legal authority explaining their conclusion. As stated above, this Court will not address issues that are not properly presented. In this context, this means that we will not address the general legal question of whether a fraudulent warranty deed invalidates loan documents. Thus, the underlying issue of whether the warranty deed of record was fraudulent is immaterial to our resolution of this appeal and will not be considered further. [5]
