The following excerpt is from People v. Gomez, B300848 (Cal. App. 2020):
We observe that throughout his briefs, defendant refers to numerous or lengthy discussions regarding the admissibility of the Facebook evidence, and he describes and quotes the trial court's reasoning to show where he asserts its fault. However, in reviewing the trial court's discretion in the admission of evidence, "'we review the ruling, not the court's reasoning, and, if the ruling was correct on any ground, we affirm.' [Citation.]" (People v. Chism (2014) 58 Cal.4th 1266, 1295, fn. 12.)
