Inc., 299 F.Supp.2d 1307, 1321 (S.D.Fla.2004). First, the PSLRA altered Rule 9(b)'s particularity requirement by mandating the following: [T]he complaint shall specify each statement alleged to have been misleading, the reason or reasons why the statement is misleading, and, if an allegation regarding the statement or omission is made on information and belief, the complaint shall state with particularity all facts on which that belief is formed. 15 U.S.C. 78u-4(b)(l)(B).

on the foregoing, we conclude that Layman's and Sparks' sentences are inappropriate. Like Quiroz, ten years of Layman's sentence should be suspended to probation and five years of Sparks' sentence should be suspended to probation. IV. Sufficiency of the Evidence Lastly, Sparks argues that there is insufficient evidence to support his felony murder conviction because he did not enter the house. However, Sparks, whose cursory argument is less than a page long, cites no cases in support of his claim. Sparks has therefore waived this issue on appeal. See Indiana Appellate Rule 46(A)(8)(a) (stating that each argument must be supported by citations to authorities, statutes, and the appendix or parts of the record on appeal relied on); Smith v. State, 822 N.E.2d 193, 202-03 (Ind.Ct.App.2005) (<HOLDING>), trans. denied. Waiver notwithstanding, we

Equitable Relief Under ERISA Section 502(a)(3)(B) creates a civil action for equitable relief "(i) to redress ... violations [of any provision of this subchapter or the terms of the plan] or (ii) to enforce any provisions of this subchapter or the terms of the plan." 29 U.S.C. 1132(a)(3)(B). Therefore, by its terms, ERISA allows equitable relief in two situations: when a plaintiff seeks to remedy a plan breach, or when a plaintiff seeks to enforce rights granted under a plan or the statute. It provides no relief in the absence of a breach, e 208 (8th Cir.1981) (awarding prejudgment interest after a violation of ERISA). As the Depen-dahl court noted, the breach need not result from bad faith, but there must be a breach. Dependahl, 653 F.2d at 1219 (<HOLDING>). In the present case, plaintiff asks this
