IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION EIGHT
THAIANNE ALMEIDA DASHTI, B348326
Plaintiff and Respondent, Los Angeles County
Super. Ct. No. 23WHFL01362
v.
ALI DASHTI,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of
Los Angeles County, Maria May J. Santos, Commissioner.
Affirmed.
Thaianne Almeida Dashti in pro per.
Ali Dashti in pro per.
____________________
Ali Dashti appeals the trial court’s imposition of a domestic
restraining order and custody judgments. Because Dashti failed
to provide an adequate record for review, we affirm.
The trial court held a hearing on Dashti’s wife’s request for
a domestic violence restraining order. From the minute order, we
know both parties testified, and the wife submitted exhibits. At
the hearing, the court issued a restraining order valid for five
years.
In his notice of appeal, Dashti states he is appealing the
restraining order and custody judgments. In his opening brief,
Dashti similarly complains of the trial court’s custody
determinations and orders. However, neither the imposed
restraining order nor any order about custody or visitation is in
the record.
Dashti filed a motion to amend his designation of the
record. The motion was denied, but the court invited Dashti to
file a motion to augment the record. Dashti failed to do so.
We presume the trial court’s ruling is correct. (Gee v.
American Realty & Construction, Inc. (2002) 99 Cal.App.4th
1412, 1416.) An appellant bears the affirmative burden of
demonstrating prejudicial error. (LNSU #1, LLC v. Alta Del Mar
Coastal Collection Community Assn. (2023) 94 Cal.App.5th 1050,
1070.) The appellant must support his assertion with cogent
argument with citation to authority and accurate citations to the
record. (Ibid.) Where the appellant fails to provide an adequate
record to permit review, his arguments are forfeited. (Jameson v.
Desta (2018) 5 Cal.5th 594, 609.)
Dashti has not provided the orders he wishes us to review,
any transcripts from the hearings, nor any of the evidence
presented at the hearings. Unsurprisingly given the the paucity
of the record, his brief does not contain the requisite citations to
the record.

Dashti has forfeited his arguments by failing to provide a
proper record and to follow the rules for an opening brief.
DISPOSITION
We affirm the order and award costs to Thaianne Dashti.
