Considered by DOYLE, P.J., and DANILSON and MULLINS, JJ.

MULLINS, J.

Richard Kepros appeals from an adverse jury verdict finding liability and awarding damages against him arising out of a motor vehicle collision while he was driving a tractor. Kepros's entire argument portion of his brief is three sentences long, claiming error in the jury's finding of liability and assessment of damages, and the district court's denial of his trial motions and posttrial motions. The argument contains no citations to authorities and no references to the pertinent parts of the record. Consequently, Kepros has waived all issues. SeeIowa R.App. P. 6.903(2)(g)(3); Hyler v. Garner, 548 N.W.2d 864, 876 (Iowa 1996) (“We will not speculate on the arguments [the appellant] might have made and then search for legal authority and comb the record for facts to support such arguments.”). We affirm the verdict and rulings of the district court pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.1203(a) and (d).

AFFIRMED.
