Does a court have to reasonably determine that a defendant has not satisfied a reasonable standard of conduct in a civil case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Ireland v. Cash, Case No.: 1:11-cv-02116-AWI-JLT (E.D. Cal. 2014):

court has even more latitude to reasonably determine that a defendant has not satisfied that standard. See Yarborough v. Alvarado, 541 U.S. 652, 664 (2004)("[E]valuating whether a rule application was unreasonable requires considering the rule's specificity. The more general the rule, the more leeway courts have in reaching outcomes in case-by-case determinations").
