Defendant's purported 2 expert's evaluation of this is wholly flawed, as explained in 3 Ms. Giuffre's motion in limine on the same. 4 Similarly, Ms. Giuffre's taxes are wholly irrelevant 5 to this case. Even actions brought by the government, your 6 Honor, where the cause of action is centered on nontax compliance exclude evidence of prior tax noncompliance when it 8 takes the case too far afield of the issue being tried. 9 Courts also exclude this evidence under 403 if there's 10 no substantial nexus between the alleged tax noncompliance and 11 the matter at hand. Here, defendant fails to show any type of 12 substantial nexus to this defamation claim.
