MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Schutte Bagclosures Inc. v. Kwik Lok Corp., No. 16-2767-cv (2nd Cir. 2017):

assessments," and, where two views of the evidence are permissible, the district court's "choice between them cannot be clearly erroneous." Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). We review evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion, which we will identify only where the district court has "based its ruling on an erroneous view of the law or on a clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence, or rendered a decision that cannot be located within the range of permissible decisions." Crawford v. Tribeca Lending Corp., 815 F.3d 121, 124 (2d Cir. 2016) (internal quotation marks omitted). In applying these principles here, we assume the parties' familiarity with the facts and record of prior proceedings, which we reference only as necessary to explain our decision to affirm.
