Quiet-title action; Abandonment on appeal; Inadequate briefing; MCR 7.212(C)(7); Summary disposition; MCR 2.116(C)(8) & (10); Requests for admissions

The court held that plaintiff abandoned his appellate arguments by failing to support them with record citations, legal authority, or analysis. Plaintiff sued to quiet title to Detroit property. Defendant produced a notarized quitclaim deed showing ownership. The trial court granted defendant summary disposition after plaintiff failed to respond to requests for admissions and failed to support his ownership claim. On appeal, the court held that plaintiff did not properly present any issue for review. Although plaintiff asserted that the property was not properly transferred to defendant, he cited no record facts supporting that claim and cited no authority showing that possession of allegedly abandoned property gave him legal title. Because plaintiff provided “no analysis, no citation to the record, and no citation to applicable law,” his arguments were abandoned. Affirmed.
