  2. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Manouchehr Moshayedi

    REPLY in Support of MOTION IN LIMINE

    Filed October 7, 2013

    C. The Proffered Testimony Should Be Excluded Under Rule 403 Even if this Court finds that the proffered evidence is relevant and somehow satisfies the requirements of Rule 701, it should still be excluded under Rule 403 because its meager probative value (if any) is substantially outweighed by the danger of undue prejudice, confusion of the issues, misleading the jury, and wasting time. The SEC does not dispute that the lay opinion testimony poses “a significant danger of misleading the jury into believing that it should judge materiality from the perspective of a highly trained financial analyst [or underwriter] rather than from the perspective of a reasonable investor.”
