2013Defendant presented no evidence to contradict the evaluations presented at trial, and he “does not contend the evidence was insufficient to support [the trial court’s] finding.” (People v.

Pompa-Ortiz (1980) 27 Cal.3d 519, 530 .) In short, defendant has failed to show that the use of the 2009 Protocol resulted in a material error (Reilly, supra, 57 Cal.4th at p. 655 )

2022It is true that, under the HBOR, a private action for damages may only be brought based on “a material violation of the statutory provisions that the Legislature has chosen to list [in sections 2924.12 and 2924.19], but not due to a violation of unlisted provisions.” (Lucioni v. Bank of America, N.A., supra, 3 Cal.App.5th at p. 159 ; see Cornejo v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (E.D.Cal. 2015) 151 F.Supp.3d 1102 , 1117–1118 [§ 2924, subd.
