Marriage of Patel CA4/2
Appellant Vipul Patel appeals a judgment on reserved issues in the dissolution of his marriage to respondent Neena Patel. On appeal, he contends that the trial court improperly denied his motion for a new trial. A trial court has broad discretion in ruling on a motion for new trial. (Walker v. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (2005) 35 Cal.4th 15, 18.) An abuse of discretion occurs if, in light of the applicable law and considering all of the relevant circumstances, the court’s decision exceeds the bounds of reason and results in a miscarriage of justice. (Shamblin v. Brattain (1988) 44 Cal.3d 474, 478-479.) We find no abuse of discretion, and we will therefore affirm the judgment.
