Cokic v. Fiore Powersports, LLC

Syllabus

The plaintiff appealed from the trial court's judgment denying his motion for review of taxation of costs to him and against the defendant. The plaintiff claimed that the court improperly excluded from its taxation of costs a certain amount previously ordered taxed to him by the appellate clerk and failed to tax the costs listed in a bill of costs he filed with the Superior Court. Held: This court declined to review the plaintiff's claims as the claims were inad- equately briefed, the plaintiff having failed to clearly and fully set forth his arguments, relied on abstract assertions without any analysis, failed to illustrate how the law he presented applied to the facts of the case, and failed to offer a standard of review for either of his claims as required by the rule of practice (§ 67-4) and, with respect to his claim regarding the costs taxed to him by the appellate clerk, he failed to explain why he could not seek to enforce the appellate clerk's taxation of costs.
