California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Rogers v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., A141416 (Cal. App. 2015):
Plaintiff has not even attempted to pursue her claims for injunctive relief on appeal. Accordingly, we deem these claims abandoned and do not examine the merits of their dismissal. (See Buller v. Sutter Health (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 981, 984, fn. 1 ["failure to discuss cause of action on appeal from trial court's order sustaining demurrer constitutes abandonment of that cause of action on appeal"].)
