IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

A.M., B333671

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 23PDRO01617) v.

KRISTOFAS BUTKYS,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Timothy Martella, Judge. Dismissed. Kristofas Butkys, in pro. per., for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

_______________________

Because this appeal is determined by well-settled legal principles, we decide it by memorandum disposition. (Cal. Stds. Jud. Admin., § 8.1.) Kristofas Butkys appeals from a five-year elder abuse restraining order entered against him barring, among other things, contact with or proximity to respondent A.M.1 Butkys’s appellate brief contains no statement of facts. The reporter’s transcript of testimony at the restraining order hearing shows A.M. is 69 years old. Butkys is the nephew of A.M.’s spouse. Butkys repeatedly harassed A.M. in person at A.M.’s home, leaving A.M. terrified. During these many visits, Butkys showed up uninvited, threatened to kill A.M. and his relatives (including by beheading them) because they had purportedly committed treason and other crimes, and refused to leave the property. Butkys was present for the restraining order hearing, and confirmed when testifying that he wanted to kill A.M. and intended to behead him. The appellate record consists only of the case register listing the documents in the court’s docket, a reporter’s transcript of the hearing on the petition, the minute order from the restraining order hearing, and notices of appeal and designation of the record. It does not contain the restraining order that Butkys seeks to appeal or the petition requesting that restraining order. The record also does not contain the proof of service filed with the court showing service of the restraining order request on
