MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Earp v. Davis, 881 F.3d 1135 (9th Cir. 2018):

3 Brady v. Maryland , 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) (holding that the prosecution must disclose evidence that is both favorable to the accused and material either to guilt or punishment).

4 Other circuits have also disallowed irrelevant or immaterial inferences or evidence when not pertinent to the party's claim. See United States v. Ozuna , 561 F.3d 728, 738 (7th Cir. 2009) (affirming district court's exclusion of evidence when it was not material to the defense case); Stanojev v. Ebasco Servs., Inc. , 643 F.2d 914, 923 (2d Cir. 1981) (reversing the district court when defendant's failure to produce certain evidence "does not establish, or help to establish, a prima facie case because it bears no logical relationship to a finding of age discrimination").
