Heading: Harris and Moore Have Waived Any Objection to the Lack of a Judgment against Satterwhite.

Text: On appeal, Harris and Moore challenge the superior court's failure to enter a judgment against Satterwhite. [16] Harris and Moore may have submitted a Proposed Special Verdict form, which permitted judgment against Satterwhite alone. [17] However, the superior court used a different form which did not allow for such a finding. Harris and Moore submitted detailed objections to that form, but made no objection based on the failure of that form to allow for a judgment against Satterwhite. [18] Harris and Moore did not object to the court's failure to enter a judgment against Satterwhite until the court began to prepare the final judgment form. [19] At that point, the jury had been excused, but had not considered either Harris's comparative negligence or the amount of damages which Harris might recover against Satterwhite. This post-verdict objection was therefore untimely; it was not properly presented to the court below. Arguments not raised in the trial court are waived and will not be considered on appeal, except to the extent that plain error has been committed. Wettanen, 749 P.2d at 364. This claim therefore fails.
