The following excerpt is from People v. Vargas, D073025 (Cal. App. 2018):
Finally, Vargas argues the cumulative effect of the alleged errors at his trial requires reversal of his conviction, even if none alone were individually prejudicial. As we have found no substantial error in any respect, this argument must be rejected. (People v. Butler (2009) 46 Cal.4th 847, 885.)
