The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Iriarte-Ortega, 113 F.3d 1022 (9th Cir. 1997):
Iriarte claims the district court erred in allowing the government to bolster the credibility of two of its witnesses with inadmissible hearsay. The bolstering was a response to defense efforts to show that the agents had exaggerated the strength of the case at pre-trial proceedings and were, therefore, unreliable. We review decisions to admit evidence for abuse of discretion. United States v. Collicott, 92 F.3d 973, 978 (9th Cir.1996).
