See Pioneer Centres Holding Co. Emp. Stock Ownership Plan & Tr. v. Alerus Fin., N.A., 858 F.3d 1324, 1334 (10th Cir. 2017) (<HOLDING>). We affirm the magistrate judge’s grant of 
 Holding statements: (A) holding that mere speculation is insufficient to support a jury verdict (B) holding that speculation and conjecture cannot support an adverse credibility finding (C) holding that burden of clear and convincing proof cannot be satisfied by mere conjecture or speculation (D) holding that an inference is unreasonable if it is a mere possibility or involves a degree of speculation and conjecture that requires the factfinder to make a guess (E) holding that mere conjecture or speculation is insufficient under a preponderance standard
Output (English): (D)
