DISSENTING MEMORANDUM BY STRASSBURGER, J.

NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37

Appeal from the Order of December 18, 2015, in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Family Division, at No(s): FD 07-009307-004 BEFORE: SHOGAN, OLSON, and STRASSBURGER, JJ.^* DISSENTING MEMORANDUM BY STRASSBURGER, J.:

* Retired Senior Judge assigned to the Superior Court. --------

I agree with the learned Majority that Father's brief falls woefully short of complying with the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure. I would therefore dismiss the appeal.

In doing so, I would not reach the merits of Appellant's arguments or whether they were waived by Appellant's failure to appear for trial. For this reason, I dissent.
