Is there any case law where the appellant waived claims of error as to all of his causes of action except declaratory relief?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Carney v. U.S. Bank, N.A., G050376 (Cal. App. 2015):

5. Strictly speaking, Carney has waived claims of error as to all of his causes of action except declaratory relief. His 47-page opening brief devotes two pages to the other causes of action, addresses them in a most cursory and offhand fashion, and does not cite a single authority for the proposition that he has adequately alleged them. His reply brief does not address them at all. "When an appellant fails to raise a point, or asserts it but fails to support it with reasoned argument and citations to authority, we treat the point as waived." (Badie v. Bank of America (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 779, 784-785.)
