1 The record does not include a reporter’s transcript from the evidentiary hearing. Therefore, on our own motion, we augment the record with the reporter’s transcript of the evidentiary hearing in the related case of SunLine Transit Agency v. Raeck, Court of Appeal case No. E081735, which was heard in the trial court at the same time as the instant case. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.155(a)(1)(B).)
2 At the start of the evidentiary hearing, the trial court announced that SunLine
would present its evidence, and after SunLine “presented [its] side of the case,” then
Garcia could “address the Court.” As SunLine finished its direct examinations of its
first, second, and fourth witnesses, each time the trial court said, “Next witness, please.”
