Byrne’s Special Works v. Eng CA1/5
Defendant Martin Eng, acting in propria persona, appeals from a default judgment in favor of plaintiff Byrne’s Special Works, LLC (Byrne’s) quieting title to a San Francisco property and cancelling various instruments clouding its title. Eng contends service of process by publication was defective and that the trial court erred by not allowing him to argue at the default prove-up hearing.
We dismiss the appeal. The trial court's judgment is presumed to be correct, and it is the burden of the party challenging it to demonstrate prejudicial error. (Bianco v. California Highway Patrol (1994) 24 Cal.App.4th 1113, 1125.) To do so, the appellant must provide an adequate record (Hotels Nevada, LLC v. L.A. Pacific Center, Inc. (2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 336, 348) and reasoned legal argument supported by references to the record and pertinent authority.
