CLAY, J. (pp. 806-15), delivered a separate dissenting opinion.
OPINION
SILER, Circuit Judge.
Defendants Oakcrest Dental Center (“Oakcrest”) and Dr. Louis Leonor appeal a judgment of $479,491.63 in favor of Plaintiff Dr. Samuel Stockman. Defendants allege several trial errors including the erroneous admission of a settlement offer in violation of FED. R. EVID. 408. Because we agree that the district court abused its discretion in admitting the settlement offer and the record demonstrates substantial prejudice, we REVERSE the judgment and REMAND to the district court for a new trial.
