Rosa V. v. Ali H. CA6
Unfortunately, consideration of appellant’s appeal from the December 2019 order begins and ends with a discussion of the deficiencies in appellant’s briefs on appeal. Rule 8.204(a)(2), requires an appellant to “[s]tate the nature of the action, the relief sought in the trial court, and the judgment or order appealed from” in the opening brief, and to explain why the order is appealable. Moreover, each brief filed in an appeal must “[s]upport any reference to a matter in the record by a citation to the volume and page number of the record where the matter appears.” (Rule 8.204(a)(1)(C).) Specifically, the appellant must include “a summary of the significant facts limited to matters in the record.” (Rule 8.204(a)(2)(C).) Each point raised in the brief must be supported “by argument, and if possible, by citation of authority[.]” (Rule 8.204(a)(1)(C).) Appellant has failed to comply with rule 8.204 in several regards.
