Box 685 Hampton, SC 29924 Amanda G. Steinmeyer Speights & Runyan 304 Lee Avenue P.O. Box 685 Hampton, SC 29924 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the attached page 24 is to be substituted for page 24 in the above-captioned opinion which was released on September 12, 1996. Dated this 5th day of December, 2006. -4- Nos. 95-1193 95-2035 costs. Therefore, Northridge's offer of $4,900,000 exceeded the judgment of $4,830,000 and, accordingly, we affirm the denial of double costs.1 Therefore, on the cross-appeal, we affirm on all issues except that involving the twenty percent where we reverse and remand for entry of judgment for Northridge in the amount of $4.83 million, plus costs and interest as allowed under § 814.04, STATS. By the Court. Judgment affirmed in part; reversed in part and cause remanded with directions; order affirmed. Recommended for publication in the official reports. 1 Because we affirm on this basis, we need not address Grace's argument that Northridge is not entitled to double costs because it presented a single offer on behalf of multiple plaintiffs. See Gross v. Hoffman, 227 Wis. 296, 300, 277 N.W. 663, 665 (1938) (only dispositive issue need be addressed). -24-
