FIRSTBANK VIRGIN ISLANDS, Appellee/Plaintiff. ) On Appeal from the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands ERRATA ORDER PURSUANT to the Order denying the Petition for Rehearing of Appellee FirstBank Virgin Islands entered on June 21, 2013, it is hereby ORDERED that the Opinion of the Court entered January 17, 2013 be corrected as follows: On page 10, by deleting the text of footnote 11 and replacing it as follows: FVI argues on appeal that the 1098 Form was not previously produced in discovery and was not correctly authenticated before the Superior Court, and therefore we should disregard it. However, FVI never raised the authentication argument in the Superior Court, even though Rule 56 expressly permits a party to object that the evidence identified could not be presented in an admissible form at trial. See FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c)(2). Arguments not raised to the trial court are waived on appeal. See V.I. Port Auth. v. Joseph, 49 V.I. 424, 428 (V.I. 2008). While FVI did argue in the Superior Court that Anthony failed to produce the 1098 Form in discovery, FVI only referenced that argument in its brief to this Court in a perfunctory manner without argument or citation to legal authority. Accordingly, that argument is also waived. See Bernhardt v. Bernhardt, 51 V.I. 341, 346 (V.I. 2009) (“‘[I]ssues averted to in a perfunctory manner, unaccompanied by some effort at developed argumentation, are deemed waived Anthony v. FirstBank V.I. S. Ct. Civ. No. 2010-0054 Errata Order for purposes of appeal.’” (quoting Grella v. Salem Five Cent Sav. Bank, 42 F.3d 26, 36 (1st Cir. 1994)). It is further ORDERED that copies of this Order be directed to the appropriate parties. SO ORDERED this 21 day of June, 2013. FOR THE COURT: /s/ Maria M. Cabret MARIA M.
