Heading: The January 1975 Minutes

Text: 18 The January 1975 Board minutes of the Center stated the following: 19 The Board moved to express a vote of thanks to Mr. Harold Kline [sic] who had arranged for Martha Graham to copywright [sic] her choreography without using Laban Notation (through the use of a film and a written synopsis) which he had done without remuneration out of admiration for Miss Graham. The motion was passed and Mr. Mason agreed to write to Mr. Kline. See Joint App. 261-65. 3 20 There are at least two reasons why the January 1975 Minutes were properly excluded. First, the January 1975 minutes likely relate only to a different dance, Cave of the Heart. See Joint App. 317-18. As the district court held and this court affirmed, Graham did not own Cave of the Heart. See Graham, 224 F.Supp.2d at 595-96, aff'd 380 F.3d at 632 n. 10, 637 n. 25. That dance is no longer at issue in this case. 21 Second, as the district judge explained, on remand she limited her consideration to additional ... evidence relevant to the seven dances in accordance with the mandate of the Court of Appeals. Joint App. 859-60. The district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to consider the minutes on the ground that they were not relevant to the seven dances.
