The following excerpt is from People v. Johnson, H037643 (Cal. App. 2013):
In determining whether the trial court properly denied a motion to quash a search warrant and suppress evidence, we apply a well-established standard of review: "We defer to the trial court's express and implied factual findings if supported by substantial evidence, but we independently determine the legality of the search under the Fourth Amendment. [Citation.]" (People v. Eubanks (2011) 53 Cal.4th 110, 133.)
