Opinion

Banke, Judge.

A jury trial resulted in a verdict awarding them actual and punitive damages. The defendants appeal, enumerating 14 alleged errors. Held:

1. The first 13 enumerations of error are deemed abandoned for failure to provide supporting argument or citation of authority. Rule 15 (c) (2) (Code Ann. § 24-3615 (c) (2)).

2. The evidence supported the award of punitive damages pursuant to Code § 105-2002. See generally Ponce De Leon Condominiums v. DiGirolamo, 238 Ga. 188 (1) (232 SE2d 62) (1977).
