It further violated Appellate Rule 28(b)(1) by failing to give a statement of questions presented for review in its brief. It likewise failed to present the pertinent assignments of error and exceptions after each argument in its brief as required by Appellate Rule 28(b)(3). For these reasons, the appeal is subject to dismissal.
