P1225 In reviewing a trial court's order granting a motion for new trial, if the trial court provided an adequate statement of reasons, an appellate court should defer to the trial court's resolution of conflicts in the evidence and inquire only whether there was an abuse of discretion; if the trial court failed to provide an adequate statement of reasons, the appellate court should conduct an independent review, with the burden on the party seeking to uphold the trial court's order.CitationOAKLAND RAIDERS v NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE (Juror Misconduct) 41 C4 624 [See: CCP 657; Thompson v Friendly Hills 71 CA4 544, T/AT 5/99; Oakland Raiders v NFL 126 CA4 1497, P/AT 3/05]
