The following excerpt is from People v. PORTER, F057076, No. 1219173 (Cal. App. 2011):

We review the trial court's admission of expert testimony for abuse of discretion. (People v. Prince (2007) 40 Cal.4th 1179, 1222.) We may find error only if the witness "'clearly lacks qualification as an expert.'" (People v. Hogan (1982) 31 Cal.3d 815, 852, disapproved on other grounds in People v. Cooper (1991) 53 Cal.3d 771, 836.)
