Heading: Reliance on Evacuation Map

Text: As a final point, Op-Tech argues that the trial court's reliance on the evacuation map to define the class is insufficient to satisfy the requirements of Rule 23, as reliance on the map is too speculative to satisfy the numerosity requirement. Appellees counter that Op-Tech has failed to cite any binding authority in support of its argument on this point and thus should not be considered by this court. We agree. In advancing the instant argument, the only authority relied on by Op-Tech in support of its position is an unpublished, federal district court case from Tennessee that has no precedential effect in this court. Thus, we decline to address the merits of this argument; there is no citation to binding authority, and this court will not develop a party's argument for it. See, e.g., Hanks, 366 Ark. 371, 235 S.W.3d 883. Affirmed.
