MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. Sec. & Exch. Comm'n v. Knight, 15-2951-cv (2nd Cir. 2017):
We review a district court's evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion, but "an erroneous evidentiary ruling warrants a new trial only when a substantial right of a party is affected, as when a jury's judgment would be swayed in a material fashion by the error." Warren v. Pataki, 823 F.3d 125, 137-38 (2d Cir. 2016) (internal quotation marks omitted and emphasis added).
