The following excerpt is from People v. Martinez, G049207 (Cal. App. 2014):
Although defendant contends substantial evidence does not support her conviction for willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murder, she limits her arguments to the attempted murder charge. Her failure to address the true finding the attempted murder was willful, deliberate, and premeditated forfeits any such claim. (People v. Hardy (1992) 2 Cal.4th 86, 150.) And "'"'review[ing] the entire record in the

light most favorable to the judgment'"'" (People v. Harris (2013) 57 Cal.4th 804, 849), we conclude substantial evidence exists to support the attempted murder conviction.
