    Cal. Evid. Code § 602.A“presumption” is not evidence, but an assumption of fact that the law requires to be made from another fact or group of facts found or otherwise established in an action. Cal. Evid. Code § 600(a). Rebuttable presumptions affect either the burden of producing evidence or the burden of proof. Cal. Evid. Code § 601.
