Don’t Do This

Hernandez v. First Student, Inc., No. B281161(D2d8 Jul. 9, 2019)


Q: What’s a worse appellate strategy than raising almost twenty claims of error in an appeal?

A: Raising almost twenty claims of error on appeal, and then failing to support most of them with citations to the record or fleshed out legal argument.

The result here is mostly just a death march of forfeiture. And the few arguments that were adequately made are still so perfunctory that the Court bullseyes them like womp rats in Beggar’s Canyon back home.

Don’t do this.


Affirmed.
