Listen to this article

Michael Fish appeals from an order which enjoined him from having any contact with Ann Burton, her family, or her employers for a period of two years. He claims the order is invalid because he was given insufficient notice of the hearing, depriving him of the opportunity to obtain counsel; there was insufficient evidence to show harassment; and opposing counsel threatened him into accepting the terms of the injunction. However, we conclude that Fish has waived the right to raise any of these arguments on appeal, and therefore affirm without addressing the merits.

We further conclude that Burton is entitled to costs and attorney fees on the grounds that the appeal is frivolous, and remand for a determination of the amount of the award.

This opinion will not be published.
