(e) in trial, allude to any matter that the lawyer does not reasonably

believe is relevant or that will not be supported by admissible

evidence, assert personal knowledge of facts in issue except when

testifying as a witness, or state a personal opinion as to the justness

of a cause, the credibility of a witness, the culpability of a civil litigant

or the guilt or innocence of an accused; or

(f) request a person other than a client to refrain from voluntarily

giving relevant information to another party unless:

(1) the person is a relative or an employee or other agent of a

client; and

(2) the lawyer reasonably believes that the person’s interests will

not be adversely affected by refraining from giving such

information.
