What is the propriety of a motion to reconsider and reopen a hearing where witnesses were disqualified?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hobbs, 31 F.3d 918 (9th Cir. 1994):
Having determined that the district court's original decision to disqualify the witnesses was erroneous, we must also consider the propriety of the court's denial of the motion to reconsider and to reopen the hearing. We review this order for abuse of discretion, United States v. Buffington, 815 F.2d 1292, 1298 (9th Cir.1987), and conclude that the court did, in fact, abuse its discretion.
