Donte Devan Mitchell v. Commonwealth of Virginia

ALSTON, Judge.

Donte Devan Mitchell (appellant) appeals his conviction for use of a firearm in the commission of a robbery in violation of Code § 18.2-53.1, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to prove that he in fact used a firearm. Based on appellant’s counsel’s failure to cite sufficient legal authority in support of appellant’s argument on brief, we find that appellant has waived review of this issue and decline to address it.
