Note, however, that "[a] district court by definition abuses its discretion when it makes an error of law." ''Koon v. United States'', 518 U.S. 81, 100 (1996). "[T]he abuse-of-discretion standard includes review to determine that the discretion was not guided by erroneous legal conclusions." ''Koon'', 518 U.S. at 100.
 
{{cquote|A trial court abuses its discretion where its decision is arbitrary, fanciful, or unreasonable, or where no reasonable person would take the trial court's position. Jackson v.
