Description
NELSON, Circuit Judge: A jury found Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co., Inc. and two of its employees (""Smith Barney"") liable to Pearl Kehr under section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for improperly involving her in sophisticated options transactions, the riskiness of which she was unable to understand. On appeal, Smith Barney contends that the district court improperly 1) denied its motion for a new trial based on the misconduct of Kehr's attorney at trial; 2) denied its motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict based on Kehr's failure to prove scienter; and 3) refused to consider its motion to compel arbitration of Kehr's pendent state claims. We affirm.
