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. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

[EX Q]: the jury during final jury instructions not to consider any testimony it had stricken or ordered the jury to disregard during trial. See United States v. Liburd, 607 F.3d 339, 344, 53 V.I. 890 (3d Cir. 2010) ("[W]hile curative instructions cannot repair every error, we do generally presume that juries follow their instructions."). Finally, as discussed above in section B, the People presented overwhelming evidence that Augustine was the individual who pulled a gun and started shooting at Officers Greaves, Wharton, and Allen. Based on these factors, Officer Wharton's statement given in response to a question would not have been sufficiently prejudicial to warrant a mistrial even if Augustine's attorney had requested one at trial. See Ethridge v. State, 418 P.2d 95, 100 (1966) (<HOLDING>). Thus, we conclude that the Superior Court did
Holding statements: (A) holding that prejudice was not shown where there was overwhelming evidence of guilt (B) holding mistrial not warranted for improper statement by police officer where court sustained defendants objection and admonished jury to disregard statement and where there was overwhelming evidence of guilt (C) holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendants motion for mistrial where the trial court sustained defendants objections to a question by the prosecutor containing improper information and instructed the jury to disregard the question (D) holding that improper statement was rendered harmless because the district court sustained the defendants objection and admonished the jury to disregard the statement (E) holding that while the prosecutors question was improper in light of the overwhelming evidence there was no reversible error in the denial of defendants motion for mistrial
[EX A]: holding that prejudice was not shown where there was overwhelming evidence of guilt

[EX Q]: by Ankeny should arise rarely and therefore would be unlikely to produce a swarm of cases involving excessive force searches. Also, officials and courts are far more competent to discern which extraordinary tactics constitute excessive force than to determine in the heat of the moment "what constituted] a reasonable wait time in a particular case" before entering' usually a matter of calculating, wholly subjectively the appropriate number of seconds. Id. at 2166 (internal quotations and citations omitted). In fact, without any difficulty, we have in the past in a case remarkably similar to the one before us struck down, as constituting excessive force, specific tactics such as the ones used in the case before us. See, e.g., Boyd v. Benton County, 374 F.3d 773, 779 (9th Cir.2004) (<HOLDING>). Finally, on the cost side, the
Holding statements: (A) holding that inquiry as to whether officers are entitled to qualified immunity for use of excessive force is distinct from inquiry on the merits of the excessive force claim (B) holding officers punch of an inmate was not excessive force (C) holding that ordering police officers to use excessive force in bringing a lawyer into court was a judicial act (D) recognizing that the fourth amendment protects against the use of excessive force by police officers in carrying out an arrest (E) holding that officers had employed constitutionally excessive force by blindly throwing a flash bang grenade into an apartment occupied by five to eight individuals
[EX A]: holding that inquiry as to whether officers are entitled to qualified immunity for use of excessive force is distinct from inquiry on the merits of the excessive force claim

[EX Q]: interest in the Annuity to remain with [Claude]." Supporting the trial court's finding is a letter from Jean to Cindy Lott, Jean's daughter and the personal representative of her estate, and testimony from Lott. Jean's letter stated "I went to United today and had my beneficiary changed on my IRA account. I put it in your name and Dianne as [contingent] in case something happens to you. Dianne is beneficiary to my annuity account." Lott testified that Jean attempted to change the beneficiary of annuity and that Jean thought that the beneficiary was changed. Claude argues, however, that both Jean's letter and Lott's testimony violate the Dead Man's Statute, S.C.Code Ann. 19-11-20 (1985). Unquestionably, Jean's letter is admissible. Harris v. Berry, 231 S.C. 201, 98 S.E.2d 251 (1957) (<HOLDING>). In addition, because Lott's testimony is
Holding statements: (A) holding that defendants were not in control and therefore were not supervisors and not subject to liability under 1983 (B) holding that the shareholders were not thirdparty beneficiaries because they were not directly benefited by the contract between the government and the thrifts (C) holding that letters written by decedent to the testatrix and a first cousin who were designated as beneficiaries under the will were not within prohibition of the dead mans statute and were improperly excluded (D) holding that the litigation privilege did not preclude a malicious prosecution claim where the accusatorial statements that led to the plaintiffs arrest were made before the charges against him were filed and were not made during and were unrelated to the judicial proceeding (E) holding that because the record does not indicate that the extraneous documents or averments were excluded by the court we must assume that they were considered
[EX A]:
holding that defendants were not in control and therefore were not supervisors and not subject to liability under 1983
