                      Hay v. Hay, 100 Nev. 196, 198, 678 P.2d 672, 674 (1984) ("Because Nevada
                      is a notice-pleading jurisdiction, our courts liberally construe pleadings to
                      place into issue matters which are fairly noticed to the adverse party").
                      Accordingly, we
                                  ORDER the judgment of the district court dismissing
                      appellant's intentional infliction of emotional distress claim for failure to
                      state a claim REVERSED AND REMAND this matter to the district court
                      for proceedings consistent with this order. 1

                      cc: Hon. Douglas W. Herndon, District Judge
                           Thomas J. Tanksley, Settlement Judge

                             'Having reviewed respondent's answering brief, we further conclude
                      that respondents have not established that appellant's intentional
                      infliction of emotional distress claim should have otherwise been
                      dismissed based on claim preclusion. See Five Star Capital Corp. v. Ruby,
                      124 Nev. 1048, 1054, 194 P.3d 709, 713 (2008) (requiring that the parties
                      or their privies be the same for claim preclusion to apply).
