TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision.  Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text.

There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

PROBLEM: until after the interview ended. Defendants therefore contend that we should ignore contrary testimony by Whalen and Connelly.
