The following excerpt is from Sams v. City of L. A., B275851 (Cal. App. 2018):
applying this standard of review, we "view the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, giving it the benefit of every reasonable inference and resolving all conflicts in its favor . . . ." [Citation.] "'Substantial evidence' is evidence of ponderable legal significance, evidence that is reasonable, credible and of solid value." [Citation.] We do not reweigh evidence or reassess the credibility of witnesses. [Citation.] We are 'not a second trier of fact.' [Citation.] A party raising a claim of insufficiency of the evidence assumes a daunting burden." (Pope v. Babick (2014) 229 Cal.App.4th 1238, 1245-1246.)
