State v. Odyk5/5/2005
counsel was ineffective. Thus, this matter is not properly before us on direct appeal.
Odyk cites no authority in support of his contention that the District Court based its sentence upon an assumption not supported by the record. We have repeatedly held that we will not consider unsupported issues or arguments, and that it is not the obligation of this Court to locate authorities for a party in support of issues taken on appeal. State v. Flowers, 2004 MT 37, 44, 320 Mont. 49, 44, 86 P.3d 3, 44 (citations omitted). Thus, we decline to consider this argument on appeal.
On the face of the briefs and the record on appeal, it is manifest that the appeal is without merit as the issues are clearly controlled by settled Montana law. Therefore, we affirm the judgment of the District Court.
