The following excerpt is from People v. Smith, C071695 (Cal. App. 2014):
As far as we can discern from the record, no specific objection was made on the latter basis that the evidence violated the rule limiting admission of prior bad acts under Evidence Code section 1101. "The failure to state the specific ground upon which an objection rests waives appellate review of the objection." (People v. Dorsey (1974) 43 Cal.App.3d 953, 959; Evid. Code, 353, subd. (a).)
