Heading: dismissal of misrepresentation claim

Text: [2] ¶ 18. The plaintiffs submit a one-paragraph argument appealing the circuit court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' claims based on misrepresentation against defendant Daun. In making this argument, the plaintiffs rely only on the bald assertion that they presented evidence concerning the misrepresentation claim at trial. Relying on Ollerman v. O'Rourke Co., Inc., 94 Wis. 2d 17, 24, 288 N.W.2d 95 (1980), the plaintiffs assert that a claim should not be dismissed unless it is quite clear that under no conditions can the plaintiff recover. ¶ 19. In addressing this claim, we note that the record relating to this issue is incomplete. Material discussions relating to the positions taken by parties as to the disposition of the misrepresentation claims were conducted off the record. In addition, and more importantly for our purposes, the plaintiffs' appeal from the circuit court's dismissal of the misrepresentation claims is undeveloped. This court declines to address issues raised on appeal that are inadequately briefed. See McEvoy v. GHC, 213 Wis. 2d 507, 530, 570 N.W.2d 397, n. 8 (1997); State v. Flynn, 190 Wis. 2d 31, 58, 527 N.W.2d 343 (Ct. App. 1994). Accordingly, the circuit court's decision on this claim is affirmed.
