In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

S. Sprouse Residuary Trust, which is a named defendant in this action. For the sake of simplicity, we will refer only to Mr. Sprouse in this opinion. 4 .Ms. Bagwell, who is not a lawyer, also testified that she thought that the original five-year lease was on "a year[-]to[-]year basis." 5 .

See also 2 Friedman on Leases 14.301, at 915 (noting that payment of increased rent under an option constitutes an acceptance of the option). 7 . Painter v.

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

Landgraf, 511 U.S. at-, 114 S.Ct. at 1505. The plaintiffs contend that FIRREA does not expressly state that it applies retroactively. Therefore, because it imposes new duties and affects the plaintiffs' vested pension rights which arose in 1987, it cannot be applied retroactively to require them to follow an administrative claim procedure and now bar jurisdiction over their claims. The court agrees that FIRREA does not contain an express retroactivity provision. However, this does not require the court to find that the claims bar provision cannot apply to pension benefits which vested prior to FIR-REA's enactment. The Ninth Circuit has had occasion to address the question of whether FIRREA applies retroactively. See Murphy v. F.D.I.C., 38 F.3d 1490, 1501 (9th Cir.1994) (en banc) (<HOLDING>); F.D.I.C. v. New Hampshire, 953 F.2d 478, 486
