The following excerpt is from People v. Soberanis, B243922 (Cal. App. 2014):
6. Defendant's introduction to the issue mentions his motion for new trial, brought in part on his assertion that he would not have waived a jury trial had he known that a deputy district attorney in the prosecuting attorney's office was married to a superior court judge. However, as defendant does not assign error to the denial of his motion or develop this assertion in his argument, we do not discuss the issue. (See People v. Freeman (1994) 8 Cal.4th 450, 482, fn. 2.)
