The following excerpt is from Doe v. Kelly, 878 F.3d 710 (9th Cir. 2017):
If the district court identifies the correct legal standard, "it will not be reversed simply because the appellate court would have arrived at a different result if it had applied the law to the facts of the case." Am. Trucking Ass'ns, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles , 559 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir. 2009) (quotation omitted). Rather, the court only abuses its discretion when its application of the standard is "illogical, implausible, or without support in inferences that may be drawn from the record." United States v. Hinkson , 585 F.3d 1247, 1262 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc).
[878 F.3d 720]
