• holding that in diversity cases, the identity of a real party in interest is determined by the substantive law of the forum state
• recognizing that when state law permits a showing of fraud by circumstantial evidence, fraud “may be proved by showing circumstances from which the inference of fraud is natural and irresistible” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• stating that the “exclusion of relevant evidence under Rule 403 is ‘an extraordinary remedy to be used sparingly’”
