• 2024 ND 58

Syllabus

An appellant's argument must contain the appellant's contentions and the reasons for them, with citations to the authorities and parts of the record on which the appellant relies, and citation to the record showing that the issue was preserved for review or a statement of grounds for seeking review of an issue not preserved. A party waives an issue by not providing supporting argument and, without supportive reasoning or citations to relevant authorities, an argument is without merit. The Court will not consider an argument that is not adequately articulated, supported, and briefed, or engage in unassisted searches of the record for evidence to support a litigant's position.
