J-S15003-13 NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P 65.37 JOSEPH R. REISINGER, JOSEPH R. REISINGER, ESQ., LLC. AND REISINGER & ASSOCIATES, P.C., : : : : Appellants : : v. : : YELLOW BOOK SALES AND : DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, INC., ET AL., : : Appellees : IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA No. 906 MDA 2012 Appeal from the Order entered April 17, 2012, Court of Common Pleas, Luzerne County, Civil Division at No. 8609-2011 BEFORE: DONOHUE, ALLEN and OTT, JJ. JUDGMENT ORDER BY DONOHUE, J.: Filed: March 5, 2013 Joseph R. Reisinger, Joseph R. Reisinger, Esq., LLC, and Reisinger & Associates, P.C., (collectively Appellants ) appeal from the April 27, 2012 order entered by the Court of Common Pleas, Luzerne County, granting the preliminary objections filed by Yellow Book Sales and Distribution Company, Inc., et al. ( Yellow Book ), and dismissing Appellants complaint with prejudice. In the argument section of the brief addressing the three issues they raise on appeal, Appellants fail to include any citations to the record; provide only a single citation to an authority that addresses the elements of one of the three causes of actions advanced in their complaint; and cite to no legal authority in support of their claims of error. These infractions are J-S15003-13 patent violations of the Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Pa.R.A.P. 2119(a), (c), (d). Rule 2101 is clear: Briefs and reproduced records shall conform in all material respects with the requirements of these rules as nearly as the circumstances of the particular case will admit, otherwise they may be suppressed, and, if the defects are in the brief or reproduced record of the appellant and are substantial, the appeal or other matter may be quashed or dismissed. Pa.R.A.P. 2101. It is not the job of this Court to research case law in support of an appellant s argument, or to scour the record to find support for an appellant s bald claims of error. See J.J. DeLuca Co., Inc. v. Toll Naval Associates, 56 A.3d 402, 410-11 (Pa. Super. 2012). Accordingly, we find all of the issues raised by Appellants waived and we quash the appeal. Appeal quashed. -2-
