IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION FOUR JOHN OHANIS LEON, B297337 Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 18CHR002133) v. MAIDA LEON, Appellant. APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Jonathan L. Rosenblum, Judge. Affirmed. Agavni Tulekyan for Appellant. Noelle M. Halaby for Plaintiff and Respondent. Maida Leon appeals from the entry of a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) against her. She contends the trial court committed several errors and ultimately abused its discretion in granting the DVRO requested by her husband, respondent John Leon.1 We affirm.
