The following excerpt is from In re Packaged Seafood Prods. Antitrust Litig., Case No.: 15-MD-2670 JLS (MDD) (S.D. Cal. 2020):

"Disputes as to the strength of an expert's credentials, faults in his use of a particular methodology, or lack of textual authority for his opinion, go to the weight, not the admissibility, of his testimony." Kennedy v. Collagen Corp., 161 F.3d 1226, 1231 (9th Cir. 1998) (citation and brackets omitted). "Shaky but admissible evidence is to be attacked by cross examination, contrary evidence, and attention to the burden of proof, not exclusion." Primiano, 598 F.3d at 564.
