AMY, Judge.

As noted in the companion matter of Tracy Alexander v. State of Louisiana,

Dep’t of Children and Family Services, 18-154 (La.App. 3 Cir. _/_/18), _ So.3d _, the

appellant’s motion for appeal, as well as the corresponding order of appeal, included

the captions and the trial court docket numbers of both the petition for nullity as well

as the underlying termination of parental rights proceedings. The appellate record of

each matter was lodged with this court. While the instant docket number is the appeal

filed from the petition for termination of parental rights, we note that the appellant

does not brief issues relating to the merits of the termination matter. Those issues are,

therefore, not addressed further herein. See Uniform Rules—Courts of Appeal, Rule

2-12.4(B)(4) (providing that “[a]ll assignments of error and issues for review must be

briefed. The court may consider as abandoned any assignment of error or issue for

review which has not been briefed.”) Therefore, we leave the underlying judgment

undisturbed. See also State in the Interest of G.M.A. & K.K.A., 16-405 (La.App. 3

Cir. 9/28/16), 201 So.3d 104, writ denied, 16-1945 (La. 11/18/16), 210 So.2d 290.

All costs of this appeal are assessed against Tracy Alexander.

AFFIRMED.
