Text: United in its brief says that the Lambs sought judgment against Martin and Luther for $7,598.49 and foreclosure against the property owner in this amount and that the court entered judgment for such sum, ordering foreclosure in that the amount of the Lamb claim was duplicated in Martin & Luther's claim. Reference to the record indicates that the court did not make such a statement but we assume counsel may have had in mind the court's provision that Martin and Luther's judgment against Willamette for $69,187.50 and that of the Lambs against Martin and Luther for $7,598.49 were impressed as concurrent liens upon the property of Jackson Hole Ski Corporation and that satisfaction of the latter judgment should constitute pro tanto satisfaction of the former. Factors which would seem to have a bearing on this portion of the argument include the circumstance that Willamette's Exhibit 56 purports to be a list of the subcontracts included in the Martin and Luther lien claim and shows the Lamb amount as $3,933.32. Also, during the trial, Martin and Luther agreed that unfortunately this was the amount included in its claim. In appellant's contentions in this segment it argues the Lamb lien contains items of a nonlienable nature incapable of being segregated from those properly lienable and therefore the claim should fail, alluding specifically to the amounts of materials which were used in work shacks. As we have indicated earlier in the opinion in discussing a similar problem, analysis of the record shows the court to have been justified in arriving at a view of the testimony which would allow segregation. Concerning the further contention that even if the total lien claim of Lamb is not denied the record indicates that certain amounts totaling $960.74 should be stricken for various reasons, appellant does not support its enumeration of proposals by cogent argument or available precedent so as to require a consideration of the subject.
