Civil Procedure – small claims

Latasha Lang appeals pro se from an amended judgment of the circuit court dismissing her small claims action following a court trial and awarding costs against her. The issues Lang appears to be raising on appeal are titled “escrow,” “water bill,” and “retaliation.” She asks that we “honor the $10,000.00 [that she requests in her small claims complaint] for water bill, escrow, and pain and suffering.” Because Lang fails to adequately develop any issues or legal arguments, we affirm the judgment.

Lang initiated this action in small claims court seeking money related to “water bill,” “escrow,” and pain and suffering, following her removal from her housing. A court trial was eventually held on her complaint, resulting in dismissal of the action and an awarding of costs against Lang in the amount of $363.04, including a $300 attorney fee. This opinion will not be published.
