Does the court erred by failing to appoint a referee under section 2032, subdivision (d) of the Code of Civil Procedure?

Adil also asserts that the court erred by failing to appoint a referee under section 2032, subdivision (d). That provision grants the court discretion to "order that a referee be appointed pursuant to Section 639 of the Code of Civil Procedure to oversee the allocation of fees and costs." ( 2032, subd. (d).) Adil's bald assertion that the court should have granted his unopposed request for a referee does not establish abuse of discretion. (Reed v. Reed (1953) 118 Cal.App.2d 399, 400.)
