Plaintiff-Appellant,
v
AMERITECH PUBLISHING, INC., d/b/a AT&T
YELLOW PAGES, d/b/a SBC YELLOW PAGES,
AT&T TELEHOLDINGS, INC., SBC, SBC
AMERITECH CORPORATION, and SBC
GLOBAL SERVICES, INC.,
No. 275189
Oakland Circuit Court
LC No. 2006-076773-CB
Defendants-Appellees.
Before: Fitzgerald, P.J., and Markey and Smolenski, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Plaintiff, an attorney appearing pro se, appeals as of right a circuit court order granting
defendants’ motion for summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(8). We affirm. This appeal is
being decided without oral argument under MCR 7.214(E).
On appeal, plaintiff claims that the trial court erred when it granted summary disposition
in favor of defendants. However, plaintiff has failed to present a single coherent argument to
support that claim. Further, plaintiff’s deficient arguments are unsupported by applicable law or
meaningful reference to the facts of the case. Accordingly, we conclude that plaintiff has
abandoned her claims of error. See Mitcham v Detroit, 355 Mich 182, 203; 94 NW2d 388
(1959) (“It is not enough for an appellant in his brief simply to announce a position or assert an
error and then leave it up to this Court to discover and rationalize the basis for his claims, or
unravel and elaborate for him his arguments, and then search for authority either to sustain or
reject his position.”).
Affirmed.
/s/ E. Thomas Fitzgerald
/s/ Jane E. Markey
/s/ Michael R. Smolenski
