California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Nat'l Funding, Inc. v. Am. Appliance Outlet, LLC, D075777 (Cal. App. 2020):

by the reviewing court.' " (In re S.C. (2006) 138 Cal.App.4th 396, 408 (S.C.).) "This burden requires more than a mere assertion that the judgment is wrong. 'Issues do not have a life of their own: If they are not raised or supported by argument or citation to authority, [they are] . . . waived.' [Citation.] It is not our place to construct theories or arguments to undermine the judgment and defeat the presumption of correctness. When an appellant fails to raise a point, or asserts it but fails to support it with reasoned argument and citations to authority, we treat the point as waived." (Benach v. County of Los Angeles (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 836, 852 (Benach).)
