Does plaintiff have any grounds to argue that the court erred in denying her motion to continue?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Jones v. Cnty. of L.A., B241333 (Cal. App. 2014):

Neither has plaintiff demonstrated the court erred in denying her motion to continue. Plaintiff again asserts the court abused its discretion without much further argument or citation to authority. She also fails to include in the record a transcript of the hearing on the motion to continue, and the minute order containing the ruling states merely that the motion was "argued and denied." We may reject plaintiff's contention for these failures alone. (Aguilar v. Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. (1999) 21 Cal.4th 121, 132 [rejecting parties' claim for failure to provide an adequate record demonstrating error]; McComber v. Wells, supra, 72 Cal.App.4th 512, 522 [treating contentions as waived when unsupported by legal argument and citation to authority].)
