insufficient to establish a federal constitutional violation. (See People v. Gutierrez (2009) 45 Cal.4th 789, 813 ["Defendant alleges that the trial court's erroneous admission of the boy's hearsay statement also violated his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process, but fails to provide authority for this proposition, other than his bare assertion that the statement lacked particularized guarantees of trustworthiness. Defendant also fails to explain how a statement's lack of trustworthiness violates the Fourteenth Amendment's due process guarantee. Defendant is unable to establish a federal constitutional violation . . . ."].)
