The following excerpt is from People v. Reese, F072832 (Cal. App. 2019):
Based on this record, the trial court did not exercise its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner resulting in a manifest miscarriage of justice. (See People v. Rodrigues, supra, 8 Cal.4th at pp. 1124-1125.) Accordingly, an abuse of discretion did not occur when the court declined to conduct further inquiry, and this claim fails.
