“'Judicial discretion is a composite of many things, among which are conclusions drawn from objective criteria' 'In determining whether there has been an abuse of discretion, the ultimate issue is whether the court could reasonably have concluded as it did.. In the context of alleged abuse of discretion, the assessment of the cireum-stances in the case is tantamount to an evaluation of whether the evidence is sufficient to support the decision of the district court. In review of the evidence, we accept the successful party's submissions, granting them every favorable inference fairly to be drawn and leaving out of consideration conflicting evidence presented by the unsuccessful party.”
