Appellate review of issues of statutory construction is de novo. (Redevelopment Agency v. County of Los Angeles (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th 68, 74, 89 Cal. Rptr.2d 10.) The appropriate standard of appellate review of a ruling granting a criminal defendant's discovery motion is the abuse of discretion standard. (People v. Superior Court (Baez) (2000) 79 Cal. App.4th 1177, 1186, 94 Cal.Rptr.2d 706.)
