Robert Crawford appeals from his convictions for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime, and giving a false name and date of birth to an officer. As a threshold matter, we note that Crawford has failed to comply with Court of Appeals Rule 25 c 1, which requires that the sequence of arguments in his brief follow the order of the enumerations of error and be numbered accordingly. Although Crawford has alleged 14 enumerations of error, he has set out only five argument sections which do not coincide with the numbered enumerations. As we have previously held, Rule 25 c 1 is more than a mere formality. It is a requirement which this Court imposes to ensure that all enumerations of error are addressed and to facilitate review of each enumeration. By failing to comply with the rule, Crawford has hindered the Court’s review of his assertions and has risked the possibility that certain enumerations will not be addressed. Citation and punctuation omitted. McCombs v. State , 306 Ga. App. 64, 64-65 1 701 SE2d 496 2010. To the extent that we are able to discern arguments that are properly before us, we find no error. Construed in favor of the verdict, Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979, the evidence shows that late one August night, a police officer approached 16-year-old Crawford and another juvenile as they smoked cigarettes near the rear exit of a movie theater. When the officer attempted to verify their names and ages, Crawford provided a false name and birth date. After another officer arrived, Crawford ran away from the scene. As the first officer chased him, Crawford pulled out a handgun, turned and aimed the gun at the officer, and then pulled the trigger. But the gun did not fire because the magazine was not properly loaded. The officer continued the chase and Crawford threw the gun to the ground. The officer eventually apprehended Crawford and recovered the gun, which had 10 rounds of ammunition in the magazine.

The matter was originally filed in juvenile court, which transferred the case to superior court. After a jury trial and the denial of a motion for a new trial, Crawford filed this appeal.
