The following excerpt is from People v. Rauda, 2d Crim. No. B258675 (Cal. App. 2015):
4. In his opening brief, appellant asserts that he "explained to the trial judge that he had difficulty accessing the law library during trial." We disregard this assertion because it is not supported by citation to the record. (Grant-Burton v. Covenant Care, Inc. (2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 1361, 1379 ["an appellate court may disregard any factual contention not supported by a proper citation to the record"].)
