The following excerpt is from Nichols v. Cnty. of San Bernardino, E066405 (Cal. App. 2018):
Plaintiff correctly identifies the standard of review: abuse of discretion. (Patel v. Crown Diamonds, Inc. (2016) 247 Cal.App.4th 29, 37.) The scope of discretion depends upon the particular law being applied. (Ibid.) Action that "'transgresses the confines of the applicable principles of law is outside the scope of discretion.' [Citation.]" (Ibid.)
