Summary

The court affirmed the judgment for the defendants after concluding that the plaintiffs waived their right to a jury trial by failing to demand one within the prescribed period. The court also declined to consider arguments about relief from waiver, consolidation, and amended defenses because those matters were not presented to the district court. The court further declined to reach the sufficiency-of-the-evidence claims because the appellate briefing lacked supporting authority and cogent argument, and the record did not establish which occupant was driving.
