“reply briefs are limited to answering any matter set forth in the opposing brief'). 3For example, the district court's application of the doctrine of forum non conveniens—which appellants did not properly challenge and which we therefore assume to be correct—is legally sufficient to sustain the dismissal COURT OF APPEALS OF NEVADA 6 (0) 19,1711 AMMO the Hungs have not demonstrated otherwise.4 This logically forecloses their appeal as it concerns the district court's dismissal of the amended complaint. Indeed, from a practical point of view, for us to reverse the district court's dismissal ruling, we would have to, first, raise challenges on the Hungs' behalf regarding NRCP 12(b)(5), NRCP 12(b)(6), and forum non conueniens; second, conceive of reasons to find fault with the district court's resolution of those issues; and then, third, use those reasons to reverse the district court's order. As another court persuasively reasoned in an analogous situation, "[s]uffice it to say, such an exercise of sua sponte judicial power would impermissibly place us in the role of advocate--far outside the boundaries of our traditional adjudicative duties.”
