The following excerpt is from Estacion v. Morgan, G054323 (Cal. App. 2018):
Plaintiffs argue we should apply a de novo standard of review because the court "misconstrued or misapplied the law." We disagree. Generally, we review a ruling on a disqualification motion for abuse of discretion. (People ex rel. Dept. of Corporations v. SpeeDee Oil Change Systems, Inc. (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1135, 1143.) None of plaintiffs' arguments persuades us to use any other standard.
