OTR Wheel Engineering, Inc. v. West Worldwide Services, Inc., Docket No. 16-35897


Evidence: Clear and convincing evidence: Preponderance of the evidence:

Clear and convincing evidence requires greater proof than preponderance of the evidence. To meet this higher standard, a party must present sufficient evidence to produce ‘in the ultimate factfinder an abiding conviction that [the asserted factual contentions are] highly probable.’ Sophanthavong v. Palmateer, 378 F.3d 859, 866–67 (9th Cir. 2004) (quoting Colorado v. New Mexico, 467 U.S. 310, 316 (1984)).
