The following excerpt is from Estate of Cardenas v. Weathersby, E069013 (Cal. App. 2018):
"The most fundamental rule of appellate review is that a judgment is presumed correct, all intendments and presumptions are indulged in its favor, and ambiguities are resolved in favor of affirmance." (City of Santa Maria v. Adam (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 266, 286.) "The appellant has the burden of furnishing an appellate court with a record sufficient to consider the issues on appeal. [Citation.] An appellate court's review is limited to consideration of the matters contained in the appellate record." (People v. Neilson (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 1529, 1534.)
