1. “We have held on numerous occasions that an appellant has a duty to make more than mere assertions, and should set forth reasons and cite authority in support of his arguments. Clark v. State, 503 So.2d 277, 280 (Miss.1987) (citing Johnson v. State, 154 Miss. 512 , 122 So. 529 (1929)). If the party fails to provide this support, we are not obligated to consider the assignment of error. Drennan v. State, 695 So.2d 581, 585-86 (Miss.1997) (citing Hoops v. State, 681 So.2d 521, 526 (Miss.1996)). Thus, Mitchell has waived his argument on this issue.”
