Are there genuine issues of material fact and whether the district court correctly applied substantive law?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Treman v. ELL Industries, Inc. et al, 196 F.3d 970 (9th Cir. 1999):

Tremain, whether there are any genuine issues of material fact and whether the district court correctly applied the relevant substantive law. See Margolis v. Ryan, 140 F.3d 850, 852 (9th Cir. 1998).

We review a district court's evidentiary rulings for an abuse of discretion. See Russian River Watershed Protection Comm. v. City of Santa Rosa, 142 F.3d 1136, 1144 n.6 (9th Cir. 1998). In particular, a district court may abuse its discretion if it does not apply the correct law. See United States v. Sprague, 135 F.3d 1301, 1304 (9th Cir. 1998); see also Koon v. United States, 518 U.S. 81, 100 (1996) ("A district court by definition abuses its discretion when it makes an error of law.").
