Description
Defendants, Tony and Josie Atler, doing business as the A-Mi-Gusto Lounge, appeal from a judgment entered by the district court following a bench trial, which awarded Plaintiff damages for the wrongful death of a patron. Defendants raise three issues on appeal: (1) whether the failure to join an indispensable party constitutes a jurisdictional defect requiring reversal; (2) whether there was substantial evidence indicating that Defendants had notice that the decedent was in danger; and (3) whether the amount of the award against Defendants should be reduced under the doctrine of comparative fault. Defendants have abandoned a fourth issue raised in their docketing statement. See State v. Fish, 102 N.M. 775, 701 P.2d 374 (Ct. App. 1985) (issues listed in the docketing statement but not briefed are deemed abandoned). Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
