California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from El-Bey-Washington v. Washington, F076163 (Cal. App. 2019):

Even in the absence of a respondent's brief, however, an appellant has the burden of showing reversible error. (See County of Lake v. Antoni (1993) 18 Cal.App.4th 1102, 1104; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.220(a)(2).)
