Allgoewer v. Waldear CA3
Steven Allgoewer sued his sister, Karen Waldear, for conversion of bank accounts that had been owned by their deceased mother, Madeline Allgoewer. Karen responded with a cross-action against Steven for financial elder abuse, abuse, conversion, and common counts. A bench trial resulted in a judgment in favor of Steven for $9,822.05 plus costs of suit. The trial court awarded nothing to Karen on her causes of action against Steven. Karen appeals from the judgment, but without including a reporter’s transcript of any part of the trial. Karen presents eleven arguments on appeal in which she seeks a reversal and retrial. We reject Karen’s arguments even though Steven has not filed a respondent’s brief. Even in the absence of a respondent’s brief or any opposition to an appellant’s opening brief, we may “reverse only if prejudicial error is found.” (Walker v. Porter (1974) 44 Cal.App.3d 174, 177.)
