IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION THREE
ARMEN L. GEORGE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. STEPHEN R. DIAMOND, Defendant and Appellant. | B182299 (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BC307875) |
APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Jon M. Mayeda, Judge. Affirmed.
Stephen R. Diamond, in pro. per., for Defendant and Appellant.
Armen L. George for Plaintiff and Respondent.
______________________________________________
Defendant and appellant Stephen R. Diamond appeals from the order of the trial court denying his anti-SLAPP motion (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16) in a malicious prosecution action filed by Armen L. George. As Diamond has failed to provide an adequate record on appeal, we affirm.
DISCUSSION
1. The Record Is Insufficient To Enable Appellate Review
The record provided on appeal by Diamond does not contain George's complaint in this action. Nor does it contain a reporter's transcript of the hearing on the anti‑SLAPP motion. It is the appellant's burden to provide an adequate record on appeal. To the extent the record is inadequate, we make all reasonable inferences in favor of the judgment. (Maria P. v. Riles (1987) 43 Cal.3d 1281, 1295-1296; Amato v. Mercury Casualty Co. (1993) 18 Cal.App.4th 1784, 1794; Rossiter v. Benoit (1979) 88 Cal.App.3d 706, 712.)
