Does a comment made by the grandparents of a plaintiff in a personal injury case that the trial court would have granted the petition if experienced counsel had been appointed for A.C?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from M.C. v. R.C. (In re A.C.), E071244 (Cal. App. 2019):

8. The grandparents' comment, made in passing, that the trial court would have granted the petition had "experienced" counsel been appointed for A.C., is conclusory and insufficient to raise the issue of whether A.C.'s interests were adequately represented. "This court is not required to discuss or consider points which are not argued or which are not supported by citation to authorities or the record." (MST Farms v. C.G. 1464 (1988) 204 Cal.App.3d 304, 306.)
