The following excerpt is from Miranda v. Bomel Const. Co., Inc., 115 Cal.Rptr.3d 538, 187 Cal.App.4th 1326 (Cal. App. 2010):
"A different analysis is required for our review of the trial court's ... rulings on evidentiary objections. Although it is often said that an appellate court reviews a summary judgment motion 'de novo,' the weight of authority holds that an appellate court reviews a court's final rulings on evidentiary objections by applying an abuse of discretion standard. [Citations.]" ( Carnes v. Superior Court (2005) 126 Cal.App.4th 688, 694, 23 Cal.Rptr.3d 915.)
