Marriage of Lizardo and Sandeen CA3
Stephen Sandeen, appellant appearing in propria persona, appeals from a judgment dissolving his marriage to Anne Lizardo and awarding Lizardo sole legal and physical custody of the parties’ minor children. Sandeen has filed a lengthy opening brief that challenges everything from the trial court’s jurisdiction over his case to the court’s qualifications and lack of bias. He fails to support what appear to be his key claims with either meaningful citations to the record or any relevant authority.
Although he asks that we consider his “submissions liberally” and use our “common sense to determine the relief that [he] desire[s]” (emphasis removed) we cannot overlook the fact that Sandeen completely abdicates his well-settled duty as appellant to affirmatively show error of any kind in the proceedings below. His brief does little more than express frustration with the family court and its processes.
