UNPUBLISHED
February 17, 2004
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v
WAYNE COUNTY CLERK, BELLEVILLE
CITY CLERK, CITY OF BELLEVILLE,
PLYMOUTH DEPUTY CITY CLERK and CITY
OF PLYMOUTH,
No. 244171
Wayne Circuit Court
LC No. 02-230809-CZ
Defendants-Appellees.
Before: Schuette, P.J., and Meter and Owens, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Plaintiff appeals as of right from a circuit court order dismissing his complaint. We
affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
To the extent plaintiff challenges the trial court’s decision to hear argument on motions in
his absence, the issue has not been preserved for appeal because plaintiff failed to include it in
his statement of questions presented. Busch v Holmes, 256 Mich App 4, 12; 662 NW2d 64
(2003).
Next, plaintiff’s challenge to the trial court’s ruling on the merits of his complaint is also
deemed abandoned because he failed to brief the merits of the issues presented and to cite any
applicable authority in support of his position. Prince v MacDonald, 237 Mich App 186, 197;
602 NW2d 834 (1999).
In any event, the statutes relied on by plaintiff do not establish a claim on which relief
can be granted. MCR 2.116(C)(8). The trial court did not err in granting defendant’s motion for
summary disposition.
Affirmed.
/s/ Bill Schuette
