Heading: Testimony of Co-Conspirator

Text: The district court did not abuse its discretion in allowing the testimony of Lorren Mark Kalish. See United States v. Dorsey, 677 F.3d 944, 951 (9th Cir. 2012). Both co-defendants in the trial were charged with the same, single conspiracy to defraud the government, and Kalish testified about the nature of that conspiracy and the overt acts taken to further that conspiracy. Thus, Kalish’s testimony about the conspiracy is relevant to Rodman, and Rodman was not prejudiced by this testimony. See United States v. Smith, 609 F.2d 1294, 1297-99 (9th Cir. 1979).
