I. Sufficiency of the evidence
A. Standard of review When a party challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a jury verdict, we apply the substantial evidence standard of review. (Wilson v. County of Orange (2009) 169 Cal.App.4th 1185, 1188.) Under this standard, “[a]ll conflicts in the evidence are resolved in favor of the prevailing party, and all reasonable inferences are drawn in a manner that upholds the verdict. [Citations.]” (Holmes v. Lerner (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 442, 445.) “[W]e do not evaluate the credibility of the witnesses or otherwise reweigh the evidence. [Citation.] Rather, ‘we defer to the trier of fact on issues of credibility. [Citation.]’ [Citation.]” (Escamilla v. Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation (2006) 141 Cal.App.4th 498, 514-515.) “Substantial” evidence is that which is of “‘“ponderable legal significance,”’” “‘“reasonable in nature, credible, and of solid value . . . .”’ [Citations.]” (Howard v. Owens Corning (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 621, 631.) The testimony of a single witness may constitute substantial evidence. (In re Marriage of Mix (1975) 14 Cal.3d 604, 614.)
