Tom Glaze, Justice, concurring. Appellees request that this court impose sanctions for frivolous litigation pursuant to ARCP Rule 11, a rule cognizable in the trial courts. Because sanctions were not requested by appellees below, this court may not consider Rule 11 sanctions when appellees raise such a request for the first time on appeal. Appellees have properly requested that Rule 9(e) of the Rules of the Supreme Court be imposed because of the appellant’s deficient abstract. Appellant’s abstract is not only deficient, but also his brief, including argument, is truly bewildering and a repeat of most of the same assertions offered in one form or another in his seven earlier appeals. While I agree with this court’s dismissal of this case, I would also award whatever costs the appellees have incurred when supplementing their abstract in this appeal.
