Valentine v. Phillips
Petition for certiorari denied on October 4, 2021
Issue: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit violated Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 52(a)(6) when it failed to apply the proper, heightened and deferential standard to the district court"s expert witness credibility determination; and (2) whether the 6th Circuit usurped the district court"s expert witness gatekeeping function when it held that the district court should have credited the testimony of Johnny Phillips"s expert " and granted Phillips"s petition " simply because that testimony was not blatantly self-serving or dishonest.
