151072P.pdf   03/15/2016  Securities and Exchange Comm.  v.  Todd A. Duckson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1072
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Shepherd, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - SEC Civil Enforcement Action. The court made individualized 
   determinations regarding the admissibility of certain property appraisals 
   Duckson wished to enter in to evidence and did not abuse its discretion by 
   declining to admit the complete versions of the appraisal on foundation 
   and Rule 403 grounds; in any event, Duckson abandoned his attempt to 
   introduce the appraisals and cannot show any prejudice from the court's 
   rulings; no error in using a general verdict form regarding violation of 
   the Act as the purported purpose of the special verdicts - guiding the 
   court in imposing remedies - was not relevant given the court's equitable 
   authority and discretion in determining the appropriate remedy for the 
   violations; nor did the use of a general verdict deprive Duckson of 
   meaningful appellate review.
