The following excerpt is from People v. Anaya, 2d Civil No. B260642 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendants have produced only a small portion of the reporter's transcripts of the trial. The clerk's transcript does not contain defendants' pleadings. Because the record is not complete, we must defer to many of the trial court's factual findings. (Null v. City of Los Angeles (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 1528, 1532.) "'A judgment or order of the lower court is presumed correct. All intendments and presumptions are indulged to support it on matters as to which the record is silent . . . .'" (Ibid.)
