Why this matter is tracked

In an appeal from a judgment sustaining a demurrer without leave to amend, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's decision. The appellant, appearing pro se, submitted an appellate brief containing multiple invalid or non-existent case citations, including 'Green v. Casa Santa Fe (2001) 94 Cal.App.4th 638', 'Green v. Casa Santa Fe (2001) 132 Cal.App.4th 97', and 'Cavaletto v. Wiesen (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 1169'. The court noted these citations did not appear in California reporters and were unable to be located. Consequently, the court found the appellant's arguments forfeited due to a lack of valid legal authority, failure to provide record citations, and failure to present cogent legal analysis.
