But a decision by a district court to exclude evidence in an equity action does not automatically amount to an abuse of discretion. See Kellen v. Pottebaum, No. 18-1034, 2019 WL 2371924, at *3 (Iowa Ct. App. June 5, 2019) (finding district court did not abuse its discretion by excluding evidence in equity action). Accordingly, we find no abuse of discretion in the district court's decision to exclude evidence of Matthew's alleged domestic abuse incident with his girlfriend in June 2022.
"[O]ur rules are automatic concerning the use of evidence that a party failed to provide during discovery." Kellen v. Pottebaum, No. 18-1034, 2019 WL 2371924, at *3 (Iowa Ct. App. June 5, 2019).
