As a testifying expert, my name is mentioned in “Rulings on Gatekeeping of Expert Testimony,” by Michael Hoenig (Nov. 20, 2013). The article involved the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit opinion in Dash v. Mayweather, 731 F.3d 303 (4th Cir. Sept. 26, 2013).

The district court and circuit opinions on this matter involved a motion for summary judgment to dismiss a case brought by plaintiff, Anthony Dash, who failed to meet the fully evidentiary requirements needed to prove one example of prior licensing activity. As I learned from PACER records after the opinion came down, Dash was apparently unable to present the requisite sworn materials because he had not declared them on his income tax forms.
