The following excerpt is from Royalty Alliance, Inc. v. Tarsadia Hotels, D062537, D063402 (Cal. App. 2014):
2. Plaintiffs challenge the evidentiary rulings of the trial court, generally contending that all of the evidence they proffered is admissible and thus should be considered on appeal. We conclude, however, that plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden to show the trial court's specific evidentiary rulings were incorrect and prejudicial, as their general approach to those objections on appeal preclude any meaningful discussion or analysis of those rulings, which are reviewed in any event for abuse of discretion. (See Ceja v. Department of Transportation (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 1475, 1481 [noting a "trial court's ruling on the admissibility of evidence is reviewed for an abuse of discretion" and noting an "appellate court will not disturb the trial court's decision unless the trial court exceeded the limits of legal discretion by making an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd determination"].)
