The Honorable Samuel D. McVey
Attorneys:
Joseph R. Goodman, Salt Lake City, for Appellants

Appellee
-----
Before Judges Davis, Orme, and Thorne.
PER CURIAM:
Multi Media Musketeers and Jeff Brewer (collectively,
Brewer) appeal the amended judgment entered against them. We
affirm.
An appellate brief must include an argument containing "the
contentions and reasons of the appellant with respect to the
issues presented . . . with citations to the authorities,
statutes, and parts of the record relied on." Utah R. App. P.
24(a)(9). "Briefs must contain reasoned analysis based upon
relevant legal authority. An issue is inadequately briefed when
the overall analysis of the issue is so lacking as to shift the
burden of research and argument to the reviewing court." State
v. Sloan, 2003 UT App 170,¶13, 72 P.3d 138 (quotations and
citation omitted). Briefs that fail to comply with rule 24 may
be disregarded. See id. "It is well established that a
reviewing court will not address arguments that are not
adequately briefed." Spencer v. Pleasant View City, 2003 UT App
379,¶20, 80 P.3d 546.

---

Brewer's brief fails to comply with the briefing standards
of rule 24. The argument does not cite any relevant legal
authority to support any position, fails to present any reasoned
legal analysis, and contains only conclusory allegations not
supported by any record or legal citation. Two issues are
presented in "arguments" of one paragraph with no authority. The
argument is insufficient to permit appellate review of any issue
stated. As a result, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
Affirmed.
