Appellant also violated App. R. 28(b)(3) by failing to refer in his brief to the assignments of error, exceptions and pages where they appear in the record on appeal.\nExceptions not preserved and set forth as required by the Rules are deemed abandoned. Appellant does not properly raise in his brief the question whether the findings of fact and conclusions of law support the order. Rule 10(a), North Carolina Rules of Appellate Procedure.\nFor these reasons the appeal is subject to dismissal. The Rules of Appellate Procedure are mandatory. Craver v. Craver, 298 N.C. 231, 258 S.E. 2d 357 (1979); State v. Brown, 42 N.C. App. 724, 257 S.E. 2d 668 (1979).\nThe Rules of Appellate Procedure apply to a litigant appearing in propria persona. Neither counsel nor parties have any right to ignore the Rules of Appellate Procedure. Owens v. Boling, 274 N.C. 374, 163 S.E. 2d 396 (1968). The right of self-representation is not a license to avoid compliance with relevant rules of procedural law. Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 45 L.Ed. 2d 562 (1975). See State v.
