The following excerpt is from Fondren v. R.D. Schmidt Inc., 940 F.2d 1534 (9th Cir. 1991):
Although we apply state substantive law to determine the validity of the settlement agreement, we apply a federal standard of review. See Nevada VTN v. General Insurance Co. of America, 834 F.2d 770, 773 (9th Cir.1987) (applying Federal standard of review in diversity case).
