United States Ninth Circuit
US v. Prigge, 15-10260
Conviction for various drug trafficking and money laundering offenses is affirmed where: 1) the holding in Luce v. US, 469 U.S. 38 (1984) (in order to raise and preserve for review a claim of improper impeachment with a prior conviction, a defendant must testify), applies to in limine rulings under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b), that is, in order to appeal a Rule 404(b) pretrial ruling, the evidence subject to that ruling must be presented at trial; and 2) the district court did not err in denying the defendant’s motion to sever counts because the defendant cannot show prejudice from the joinder.
