A general principle of appellate practice is that the lower court order is presumed to be correct. (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564.)

To make this showing, an appellant must present meaningful legal analysis supported by citations to authority and to facts in the record that support the claim of error. An appellant cannot demonstrate reversible error through conclusory claims. (In re S.C. (2006) 138 Cal.App.4th 396, 408.) Appellants show no understanding of their burden on appeal. Appellants appear to claim that their real property was fraudulently foreclosed on and blame a Ms. Catherine DeGama. However, their complaint did not name DeGama as a defendant and did not allege any causes of action related to this real property. The only argument appellants make concerning respondent is “Mr. Robert Allen also cheated Mr. Dumag out of sales for his grapes.” This conclusory claim is without any cogent legal analysis and does not apply the law to the facts.
