The following excerpt is from Lerner v. Cowen, B295916 (Cal. App. 2020):
3. Respondent argues that this court should decline to find an abuse of discretion because appellant has failed to provide a transcript of the lower court's proceedings. (Fasuyi v. Permatex, Inc. (2008) 167 Cal.App.4th 681, 690, fn. 5 ["many cases hold that the absence of a transcript precludes a determination that a trial court abused its discretion"].) We find that the record, with augmentation subsequently provided by the parties, is sufficient to review the issue raised on appeal, therefore we decide the issue on the merits.
