United States v. Catabran, 836 F.2d 453 (9th Cir. 1988).
General ledger computer printouts were admissible as a business record under F. R. Evid. 803(6) in a trial for concealing assets. The court held that "[a]ny question as to the accuracy of the printouts, whether resulting from incorrect data entry or the operation of the computer program, as with inaccuracies in any other type of business records, would have affected only the weight of the printouts, not their admissibility."
