Text: In their brief on appeal, the investors do not cite any authority to support their argument that the trial court erred in dismissing their claim for an accounting and dissolution of Bon Harbor. As noted above, Rule 28(a)(10), Ala. R. Civ. P., requires that appellants support their arguments with citations to authority. `[I]t is not the function of this Court to do a party's legal research or to make and address legal arguments for a party based on undelineated general propositions not supported by sufficient authority or argument.' Jimmy Day Plumbing, 964 So.2d at 9 (quoting Butler v. Town of Argo, 871 So.2d 1, 20 (Ala.2003), quoting in turn Dykes v. Lane Trucking Inc., 652 So.2d 248, 251 (Ala.1994)). Because the investors have failed to comply with the requirements of Rule 28(a)(10) as to this claim, we will not consider their arguments and we affirm the trial court's dismissal of this claim. We note, however, that the resolution of the remaining claims in this proceeding on remand may give rise to new facts and circumstances that are compatible with a renewal of the matters made the basis of this claim.
