Randeep S. Mann and John Doe #1, John Doe #2, and John Doe #3, Appellants v. Trent P. Pierce and — Goodson, J…

Summary

Justice Goodson concurred to emphasize why the court should resolve the court of appeals' uncertainty over whether a notice of appeal must designate the final order to invoke appellate jurisdiction. The concurrence explains that the timing of the notice is jurisdictional, while defects in the notice's other contents are procedural and generally do not automatically require dismissal absent prejudice. Justice Hart, dissenting, would reject the majority's treatment of collateral estoppel, and Justice Wood, concurring in part and dissenting in part, would decline to address the notice issue sua sponte because it is not jurisdictional.
