Does a plaintiff have to overcome the presumption of regularity in the trial of a defendant in a civil case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Davis, No. 11-2325-cr (2nd Cir. 2013):
overcoming that presumption of regularity, as he offers nothing more than assertions and generalized allegations of improper motives to support his claims. See, e.g., id. at 671 ("Generalized allegations of improper motive do not disturb the presumption of regularity."); United States v. Fares, 978 F.2d 52, 59 (2d Cir. 1992) ("Mere assertions and generalized proffers on information and belief are insufficient.").
