The following excerpt is from Md7 LLC v. Seidner, G042498 consol. w/ G042755, Super. Ct. No. 30-2008-00102182 (Cal. App. 2011):
"Under the substantial evidence standard of review, we review the entire record to determine whether there is substantial evidence supporting the [trier of fact's] factual determinations [citation], viewing the evidence and resolving all evidentiary conflicts in favor of the prevailing party and indulging all reasonable inferences to uphold the judgment [citation]. The issue is not whether there is evidence in the record to support a different finding, but whether there is some evidence that, if believed, would support the findings of the trier of fact. [Citation.] Credibility is an issue of fact for the trier of fact to resolve [citation], and the testimony of a single witness, even a party, is sufficient to provide substantial evidence to support a factual finding [citation]." (Fariba v. Dealer Services Corp. (2009) 178 Cal.App.4th 156, 170-171.)
