Mobility Workx, LLC v. Verizon Communications, Inc et al, No. 4:17-cv-00872 (E.D. Tex. Nov. 18, 2019)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Before the Court is a simple question: whether Mobility Workx is entitled to call Newton as a witness to testify to the T -Mobile License. There are two competing interests at work here. On one hand, there is the right to counsel-of-choice, when permissible. See F.D.I.C. v. U.S. Fire Ins. Co., 50 F.3d 1304 (5th Ci r. 1995). On the other hand, there is the right to offer relevant evidence that either supports one’s case or qualifies, explains, or puts in context otherwise prejudicial evidence . FED. R. EVID. 402.
