Marriage of Ross
This marital dissolution case involves a pro per appellant husband who has consistently refused or failed to comply with any of the trial court orders, and has repeatedly engaged in fraudulent conduct to evade his lawful responsibilities to the detriment of the respondent wife and undoubtedly to the great frustration of her counsel and the trial court. Appellant Calvin Belnap Ross now has heaped misery upon this court, counsel and respondent Gail B. Ross, by filing an utterly incomprehensible, meritless appeal, which adds only cost and delay to the progress of this family law matter.[1]In all fairness to Gail and her counsel, we should strike Calvin's opening and reply briefs, which make no effort to comply with the rules of court and offer no rational authority for the positions taken, and dismiss this meritless appeal. However, because the case is "fully briefed" and the appeal presents no substantive challenge to the trial court's orders, Court resolve the case on the merits in an effort to foreclose at least one avenue of Calvin's obfuscation. The judgment is affirmed.
