What is the test for review for abuse of records?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Graham, F059936 (Cal. App. 2011):

On appeal, the court's rulings are subject to review for abuse of discretion. (People v. Hughes (2002) 27 Cal.4th 287, 330, citing Pitchess, supra, 11 Cal.3d at p. 535.) Our independent review of the records at issue satisfies us there was no abuse of discretion.
