What is the test for reversing a federal district court's evidentiary ruling?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Marsh, 13-2549, 13-258 (2nd Cir. 2014):
We accord a district court's evidentiary rulings deference, and reverse only for abuse of discretion. United States v. Robinson, 702 F.3d 22, 36 (2d Cir. 2012). A district court has abused its discretion if its ruling is based on an erroneous view of the law or on a clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence, or if its decision cannot be located within the range of permissible decisions. In re Sims, 534 F.3d 117, 132 (2d Cir. 2008).
