The following excerpt is from Y.M. v. Mitchell, E069623 (Cal. App. 2019):
"A granting or denial of injunctive relief is generally reviewed by the appellate court based upon the abuse of discretion standard. [Citation.] This standard applies to the grant or denial of a protective order under the DVPA. [Citation.] In reviewing the evidence, the reviewing court must apply the 'substantial evidence standard of review,' meaning ' "whether, on the entire record, there is any substantial evidence, contradicted or uncontradicted," supporting the trial court's finding. [Citation.] "We must accept as true all evidence . . . tending to establish the correctness of the trial court's findings[,] resolving every conflict in favor of the judgment." ' " (Burquet v. Brumbaugh (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 1140, 1143.)
