Heading: whether the provisions of miss. r. app. p. 28(k) are applicable to belinda lee's brief.

Text: ¶ 38. Jason asserts that Belinda's brief in this matter shows contempt and disdain for the trial court and the chancellor in particular. As such, he feels Miss. R.App. P. 28(k) should be invoked; the rule provides, in pertinent part, that [a]ny brief containing language showing disrespect or contempt for the trial court will be stricken from the files, and the appropriate appellate court will take such further action as it may deem proper. While a reading of Belinda's brief does reveal a definite lack of confidence in the lower court, it does not reach the level of disrespect or contempt that would warrant an invocation of Miss. R.App. P. 28(k).
