California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Daniel v. County Bank Of Merced, F059779, Super. Ct. No. 638271 (Cal. App. 2011):
(Neilson v. City of California City (2005) 133 Cal.App.4th 1296, 1305.) In contrast, an appellate court must independently decide all issues of law and, thus, may not accept the truth of legal contentions, conclusions of law, or deductions drawn from those legal contentions or conclusions when reviewing the sufficiency of the allegations.
