The following excerpt is from Price v. Akhoian Enters., Inc., B259384 (Cal. App. 2015):
6. Appellants ask us to consider documents filed in connection with an application to stay the trial court proceedings pending the conclusion of this appeal. Because those filings were not before the trial court at the time it rendered its decision on the petition to compel arbitration, we do not consider them. (Roden v. AmerisourceBergen Corp. (2010) 186 Cal.App.4th 620, 630 ["We do not consider matters that were not before the trial court"].)
