The following excerpt is from Yarosh v. Yarosh (In re Marriage of Yarosh), B296896 (Cal. App. 2020):
Third, appellant does not cite any legal authority to support many of his arguments, including his contention that discovery was properly sought as to issues involving marital misconduct, the tender of a check, the sale of an automobile, the reliability of an attorney's statements, and the support of the parties' adult daughter. Further, appellant cites no authority to support his contention that the court erred by not ruling on his reconsideration request. To the extent his briefs contain citations to legal authorities, appellant does not apply those authorities to the facts in this case. (See City of Santa Maria v. Adam (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 266, 287 ["we may disregard conclusory arguments that are not supported by pertinent legal authority or fail to disclose the reasoning by which the appellant reached the conclusions he wants us to adopt"].)
