2026Mother agrees harmless error review applies here, but she contends the purported error in denying the continuance was prejudicial because “[w]ith an evidentiary hearing at which [M]other’s counsel could appear in person, present evidence, and cross-examine witnesses, it is reasonably probable that [M]other would have secured more favorable final exit orders.” (See In re Celine R.

2023Lockyer v. Sun Pacific Farming Co. (2000) 77 Cal.App.4th 619, 639 .) The court’s “ ‘discretion is only abused where there is a clear showing [it] exceeded the bounds of reason, all of the circumstances being considered.’ ” (Id. at p. 640.) Even where a trial court improperly excludes evidence, the error does not require reversal of the judgment unless the error resulted in a miscarriage of justice.

2018Lockyer v. Sun Pacific Farming Co. (2000) 77 Cal.App.4th 619 , 639-640, 92 Cal.Rptr.2d 115 .)

2020(See Saxena v. Goffney (2008) 159 Cal.App.4th 316, 332 (Saxena) [recognizing that, “[e]ven where a trial court improperly excludes evidence, the error does not require reversal of the judgment unless the error result[s] in a miscarriage of justice”]; Cal. Const., art.

2016We disagree. “ ‘ “Broadly speaking, an appellate court reviews any ruling by a trial court as to the admissibility of evidence for abuse of discretion.” ’ ” (Saxena v. Goffney (2008) 159 Cal.App.4th 316, 332 (Saxena).) An abuse of discretion exists only if “ ‘ “there is a clear showing [the trial court’s decision] exceeded the bounds of reason, all of the circumstances being considered.” ’ ” (Ibid.) Even where a trial court abuses its discretion by admitting or excluding certain evidence, such “error does not require reversal of the judgment unless the error resulted in a miscarriage of justic

2026Moreover, even if the court applied the wrong standard, we “ ‘cannot reverse the court’s judgment unless its error was prejudicial, i.e., “ ‘it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to the appealing party would have been reached in the absence of the error.’ ” ’ ” (In re D’Anthony D. (2014) 230 Cal.App.4th 292, 303 (D’Anthony D.).) The analysis under section 361.2 is “similar[ ]” to the analysis under section 361, subdivision (c).

Instead, it requires a showing that the trial court “exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner.” (Velasquez v. Centrome, Inc. (2015) 233 Cal.App.4th 1191, 1211 (Velasquez).) “In appeals challenging discretionary trial court rulings, it is the appellant’s burden to establish an abuse of discretion.” (Shaw, at p. 281.)
