Your co-writer is a pain in the tuchus.
I am sorry you have to put up with this annoying quirk of writing.
That being said, I found two references so far:

How do I properly use bullet points in APA style?
You don’t. The Publication Manual demonstrates two ways of making lists in your writing. All lists should be double-spaced. For a complete explanation, look in the Publication Manual under “Seriation” on pages 115-117.
