No. 13-30097
Clips in this case. The district court concluded that the probative value of the
evidence of the “remarkably similar” prior suits, together with evidence of
potentially fraudulent activity associated therewith, substantially outweighed
the danger of unfair prejudice. We need not decide whether the district court
erred in admitting the evidence because even if the court erred, the error was
harmless. There was substantial other evidence weighing against Brown’s
credibility and in favor of the jury’s verdict for Sport Clips.
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
