The following excerpt is from People v. Alston, C072773 (Cal. App. 2018):
However, defendant provides no legal analysis and fails to cite any legal authority to support her allegations. It is defendant's burden to affirmatively show the court erred. To demonstrate such error, defendant must provide meaningful legal analysis supported by citations to both the facts in the record and citations to authority to support her claims. Mere suggestions of error, without supporting argument or authority other than general abstract principles fail to present us grounds for review on appeal. (Multani v. Witkin & Neal (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 1428, 1457 (Multani).)
