Fed. R. Civ. P. 61.
Text
Unless justice requires otherwise, no error in admitting or ex-
cluding evidence—or any other error by the court or a party—is
ground for granting a new trial, for setting aside a verdict, or for
vacating, modifying, or otherwise disturbing a judgment or order.
At every stage of the proceeding, the court must disregard all er-
rors and defects that do not affect any party’s substantial rights.
