2d Circuit Affirms Exclusion of Business Ethics Testimony

The Second Circuit has affirmed the trial court's exclusion of testimony from an expert witness who proposed to opine, on behalf of the defendant in a libel case, that the plaintiff's conduct was a violation of business ethics and amounted to extortion. See DiBella v. Hopkins, No. 03-7012 (2d Cir. Apr. 4, 2005) (Cardamone, McLaughlin, & Wesley, JJ.).
