What is considered abandoned in the opening brief of the second amended complaint?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Kent v. Avis Rent a Car Sys. LLC, G044884, Super. Ct. No. 30-2009-00323892 (Cal. App. 2012):
2. An issue not raised in the opening brief is deemed abandoned. (Padilla v. Rodas (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 742, 753, fn. 2.) Kent's opening brief identified and discussed only the statutory claims of the second amended complaint, plus unjust enrichment. His contract-based causes of action and the claim for declaratory relief are therefore not at issue in this appeal.
