Heading: Evidence of Deckers' Gross Sales

Text: 16 The district court did not abuse its discretion to allow testimony regarding Deckers' annual overall gross sales and gross sales of Teva products. The district court reasoned that 17 [A] review of the record satisfies the court that the evidence was relevant to the issue of damages and not unduly prejudicial or likely to inflame the jury. Evidence was adduced that, if accepted with all permissible inferences drawn therefrom, could establish a link between defendant Deckers' gross sales and the damages plaintiffs claimed to have suffered. Defendants have presented nothing beyond speculation that the jury's passions were inflamed by the introduction of this evidence, and the court will not presume that this occurred in the absence of a more compelling showing. 18 These observations are supported by the record and the conclusion is not an abuse of discretion. We affirm.
