Griffin v. Cesal CA4/2
Daelani Griffin filed a petition for a harassment restraining order (Code Civ. Proc., § 527.6) against Rylee Cesal. Griffin claimed that Cesal and others had insulted her in social media posts. The trial court denied the petition. It commented, among other things, “This stuff . . . doesn’t even come close to the kind of harassment that’s required for a civil restraining order. You guys . . . have a spat on Facebook. . . . Just block them and move on. . . .”
Griffin appeals. She contends that Cesal’s conduct was civilly and criminally unlawful. She also contends that the trial court “was not acting as a neutral based on the law.”
We will hold that Griffin has forfeited her contention that the conduct was unlawful by failing to show that she raised it below, by failing to give us an adequate record, and by failing to support it with a meaningful legal analysis.
