SAMI F. AMMARI,

Respondent.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Steve Cochran, Judge. Affirmed.

Razan Ammari, in pro. per., for Appellant.

No appearance for Respondent. _____________________

Razan Ammari appeals the trial court’s denial of her request for a permanent restraining order against her brother, Sami Ammari. Ms. Ammari contends the trial court violated her right to due process by failing to issue a written order stating its reasons for denying her request for a restraining order, and that substantial evidence supported her request. We find Ms. Ammari has forfeited her claims of error by failing to comply with the basic rules of appellate procedure, and affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND We glean the following facts from the rather limited record on appeal: On May 14, 2019, Ms. Ammari filed a request for a restraining order against her brother, Mr. Ammari. Ms. Ammari did not designate the request to be included in the clerk’s transcript on appeal. A temporary restraining order issued that same day, ordering that Mr. Ammari stay away from Ms. Ammari and her son Zuhair Sawaged, and that he move out of a Malibu home. Another hearing was held on August 13, 2019. Ms. Ammari represented herself, and Mr. Ammari was represented by counsel. The court’s minutes state both Ms. Ammari and Mr. Ammari were sworn, and we presume they testified. The minutes state Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Jorge Leon and Mr. Sawaged testified. The minutes state a court reporter reported the proceedings, but the reporter’s transcript of this hearing was not included in the record on appeal. On August 23, 2019, Mr. Ammari filed an ex parte application seeking an order staying the move-out portion of the temporary restraining order. According to the application, Ms. Ammari and Mr. Ammari were parties to a joint venture agreement to rent the Malibu property through Airbnb and other
