How does the Court of Appeal interpret a finding that a judge applied the wrong standard?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Downs v. Hoyt, 232 F.3d 1031 (9th Cir. 2000):
We may affirm on any ground supported by the record, even if it differs from the district court's rationale. See United States v. Washington, 969 F.2d 752, 755 (9th Cir. 1992), cert. denied, 507 U.S. 1051 (1993). Because the district court applied the wrong standard, we must decide whether its judgment can be affirmed under the correct standard.
