Heading: Effect of the parties' stipulation

Text: Though the trial court dismissed Kelly's claims against James alone, Kelly chose to appeal the order granting summary judgment as to both defendants on the theory that Defendant Mile Hi Single Ply, Inc. is only vicariously liable and therefore the same issues pertain to both Defendants; .... Joint Stipulation at 1. The court of appeals relied on the parties' stipulation and dismissed Kelly's claims against Mile Hi, stating that Kelly cannot now seek relief under § 8-41-401(3) from Mile Hi since he stipulated that the only relief he sought against Mile Hi was based on respondeat superior. 873 P.2d at 15. Because Kelly stipulated to the dismissal of his claims against Mile Hi based on James' immunity from suit, we agree with the court of appeals that the parties' stipulation now precludes Kelly from suing Mile Hi.
