The following excerpt is from People v. Gramshoward, G055655 (Cal. App. 2018):
Following our usual standard of review on appeal, we recite the facts "in the light most favorable to the judgment . . ." (People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 578). A recitation of facts concerning defendant's underlying offense is not included here, as they are irrelevant to the current appeal, which focuses only on events related to parole violation proceedings that occurred after defendant had served his initial prison sentence.
