The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Nguyen, 284 F.3d 1086 (9th Cir. 2002):
We review for an abuse of discretion the trial court's evidentiary rulings. See United States v. Hicks, 103 F.3d 837, 843 (9th Cir.1996). "Evidentiary rulings will be reversed for abuse of discretion only if such nonconstitutional error more likely than not affected the verdict." United States v. Hankey, 203 F.3d 1160, 1166 (9th Cir.2000).
