Melvin L. Lukins & Sons, Inc. v. Kast

OPINION

An order was entered by the trial court dismissing the defendants, Dean Kast, Basil Kast and Garrison 8, as parties to plaintiff’s action on the basis that plaintiff was barred due to a decision rendered in an earlier proceeding from relitigating certain issues against these defendants. Respondents have filed no answering brief.

Under these circumstances this court may regard such a failure as a confession of error and reverse the judgment as to appellant without consideration of the merits of the appeal. *117NRAP 31(c);1 see also, Paso Builders, Inc. v. Hebard, 83 Nev. 165, 426 P.2d 731…
