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. 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.
PROBLEM: the evidence of Robertson's alleged prior threat to his ex-wife as Williams rule evidence, the State cannot rely on the law of impeachment to introduce the same evidence through the back door by asking an impermissible question regarding an alleged prior crime. Finally, we address whether the admission of this collateral-crime evidence constitutes reversible error. This Court has held that the erroneous admission of irrelevant collateral crimes evidence "is presumed harmful error because of the danger that a jury will take the bad character or propensity to crime thus demon strated as evidence of guilt of the crime charged." Castro v. State, 547 So.2d 111, 115 (Fla.1989) (quoting Straight v. State, 397 So.2d 903, 908 (Fla.1981)); accord Czubak v. State, 570 So.2d 925, 928 (Fla.1990) (<HOLDING>). In this case, given the highly inflammatory
Holding statements: (A) holding that a district court may not rely on a charging document without first establishing that the crime charged was the same crime for which the defendant was convicted (B) holding that counsel did not admit the defendant was guilty of a crime when counsel noted that if the evidence established the commission of any crime that crime was voluntary manslaughter not murder (C) holding that where court informed jurors that the defendant had escaped from custody the trial judge acted within his judicial capacity and did not testify (D) holding collateral crime evidence that defendant was an escaped convict was presumptively harmful (E) holding it is fundamental error to convict a defendant of crime not charged and which is not a lesser included offense of the charged crime

SOLUTION: holding that a district court may not rely on a charging document without first establishing that the crime charged was the same crime for which the defendant was convicted

PROBLEM: that in December 1995, his wage was $8.67 per hour. Lewis stated that a Caucasian employee, who misrepresented his knowledge of desktop publishing, was hired at a rate of $9.00 per hour in his department. This employee ultimately was "[p]ushed out the door." Supp.App. at 354. Lewis also stated that another Caucasian employee received a pay increase from $7.50 to $8.25 per hour after he went from part-time to full-time status, and that a third Caucasian employee told him that he received a raise after his father called the store manager. The District Court held that Lewis failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination because he had not shown that the employees he identified were similarly situated to him. See Watson v. Eastman Kodak Co., 235 F.3d 851, 857-58 (3d Cir.2000) (<HOLDING>). Finally, on his wrongful termination claim,
Holding statements: (A) holding that caucasian employees who engaged in the same act as the plaintiff but it did not result in injury to others were not similarly situated (B) holding that a plaintiff who did not show that he was paid at a lower rate than similarly situated employees could not survive summary judgment (C) holding that plaintiff was not similarly situated to another employee who also engaged in protected activity for purposes of plaintiffs retaliation claim (D) holding that employees of differing seniority levels were not similarly situated (E) holding that employee who violated a different policy of the store than plaintiff was not similarly situated

SOLUTION: holding that caucasian employees who engaged in the same act as the plaintiff but it did not result in injury to others were not similarly situated

PROBLEM: original tax sale. See Anderson, 44 F.3d at 797. However, there had not been a successful sale of the property in that case; the Andersens filed suit against the IRS prior to the second attempted sale. See id. Therefore, it was unnecessary for that court to determine whether any sale was void or voidable. Consequently, these cases do not support the Johnstons' position. The Johnstons also urge this Court to hold that, for the purposes of characterizing an action in violation of section 6335, the terms voidable and void are both intended to mean only void. Appellants cite no law to support their argument. On the contrary, it is clear that courts have considered the difference between void sales and voidable sales when ruling on section 6335 violations. See Koby, 47 Fed. Cl. at 104-05 (<HOLDING>); DRWSEA, 132 S.W.3d at 469 (asserting that "a
Holding statements: (A) holding that irss failure to comply with seizure and sale provisions of section 6335 renders tax sales voidable at taxpayers option rather than void as matter of law (B) holding that although irs failed to comply with procedures of section 6335 tax sale was valid due to ratification by taxpayer (C) holding that a contract made in violation of section 432070 is void rather than voidable (D) holding that failure of irs to provide statutory notice of sale caused sale to be voidable ab initio (E) holding that fraudulent inducement renders a contract void or voidable

SOLUTION:
holding that although irs failed to comply with procedures of section 6335 tax sale was valid due to ratification by taxpayer
