Heading: Breach of Guaranty and/or Warranty

Text: A party waives an issue if he fails to adequately brief it. Castro v. McCord, No. 05-21034, 2007 WL 4467566, at , 2007 U.S.App. LEXIS 29277, at  (5th Cir. Dec. 18, 2007). Though pro se litigants' briefs are liberally construed so as to avoid waiver of issues, the indulgence for parties represented by counsel is necessarily narrower. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir.1993). Other than mentioning that his petition contains a cause of action for breach of guaranty and/or warranty, Audler's brief does not discuss this claim. The mere mention of a claim that has been appealed does not constitute a supported argument or adequate briefing, nor does it preserve the issue for review, so this issue is waived.
