California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Matteson, F059682, Fresno Sup. Ct. No. F08904959 (Cal. App. 2011):
Here, the appellant has supplied numerous transcript references but not a complete statement of the evidence claimed to be insufficient to support the findings. Moreover, the trial court received more than 150 documentary and other exhibits into evidence. However, appellant has not designated those exhibits for transmittal to or consideration by this court (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.224). A claim of insufficiency of the evidence is entitled to no consideration when it is apparent that a substantial amount of evidence was received on behalf of the respondents. A reviewing court will not engage in an independent review of the record where, as here, this rule is ignored. (People v. Dougherty, supra, 138 Cal.App.3d at p. 282.) Appellant's contention is deemed waived.
