Text: ¶21. The only issues that John has identified and argued in these consolidated appeals are those pertaining to the final judgment of divorce entered on September 7, 2001, as later amended on the chancery court's own motion by the order of September 28, 2001, which reads nunc pro tunc, June 1, 2001, the date on which the settlement was concluded and announced. In his brief, John has abandoned any issues he may have wanted to raise in the first two appeals. Not only has he failed to identify the issues in his brief pursuant to Mississippi Rules of Appellate Procedure 28(a)(3), John has not argued or cited any authority in support of any issues that could have been raised in his first two appeals. ¶22. This Court consistently has held that an unsupported assignment of error will not be considered. Ellis v. Ellis, 651 So.2d 1068, 1072 (Miss.1995). This Court does not have to consider alleged error when no authority is cited for the error in the brief. Armstrong v. Armstrong, 618 So.2d 1278, 1282 (Miss.1993). See also Brown v. Miss. Transp. Comm'n, 749 So.2d 948, 959 (Miss.1999). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals numbered 2000-CA-01867-SCT and 2001-CA-00164-SCT.
