Failure to Provide Reporter’s Transcript or Substitute Was Damning.
In Marriage of Kahdeman, Case No. B243812 (2d Dist., Div. 6 Aug. 28, 2013) (unpublished), ex-husband appealed a $3,000 award under Family Code section 271, contending that the lower court actually erroneously awarded it other Family Code provisions. The problem here is that appellant failed to provide a reporter’s transcript or settled statement of the hearing so that the judgment could be adequately reviewed. (Foust v. San Jose Const. Co., Inc., 198 Cal.App.4th 181, 186-187 (2011).) Fee award affirmed.
Link is to People v. Taylor, a "criminal threats" case. Hope that's not what the court's doing with sanctions these days...
