The following excerpt is from People v. Rohrbach, A145167 (Cal. App. 2018):
Under Penal Code section 1538.5, a motion to suppress evidence must "set forth the factual basis and the legal authorities that demonstrate why the motion should be granted." (Pen. Code 1538.5, subd. (a)(2).) "[D]efendants who challenge some specific aspect of a search or seizure other than the lack of the warrant must specify the nature of that challenge at the outset. . . . The determinative inquiry in all cases is whether the party opposing the motion had fair notice of the moving party's argument and fair opportunity to present responsive evidence." (People v. Williams (1999) 20 Cal.4th 119, 135, original italics.)
