Opinion
No. 53813
Decided May 16, 1988.
Appellate procedure — Failure to comply with App. R. 12(A) — Frivolous appeal — Sanctions — Award of attorney fees.
O.Jur 3d Appellate Review §§ 424, 427.
Where an appellant fails to comply with App. R. 12(A) by not briefing and arguing his assigned errors, the court may summarily reject his appeal and order him to pay attorney fees pursuant to App. R. 23.
APPEAL: Court of Appeals for Cuyahoga County.
Dennis R. Tocci, for appellee.
Daniel M. Roth, for appellant.
Defendant presents ten assigned errors. However, his brief contains nothing more than a list of the proposed errors. He has failed to comply with App. R. 12(A), which requires an appellant to brief and argue each assigned error separately. Therefore, we summarily reject the defendant's appeal. Further, pursuant to App. R. 23, we direct that appellant shall pay appellee $100 toward appellee's attorney fees in defending a frivolous appeal.
Judgment accordingly.
NAHRA, C.J., and ANN MCMANAMON, J., concur.
