What is the test for a review of a federal court's decision not to admit evidence of abuse of discretion?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Reyes, 16-0344(L), 16-739(con) (2nd Cir. 2017):
Our review of the decision to admit such evidence "is highly deferential in recognition of the district court's superior position to assess" it. United States v. Coppola, 671 F.3d 220, 244 (2d Cir. 2012) (quotations marks omitted). We will only reverse the district court's ruling as an abuse of discretion if it "was arbitrary and irrational." Id. We find no error in this case.
