The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Kinslow, 961 F.2d 217 (9th Cir. 1992):
An evidentiary error is not grounds for post-conviction relief under section 2255 unless the error is so prejudicial that it denies the defendant a fair trial. See United States v. Timmreck, 441 U.S. 780, 783-85 (1979); Baumann v. United States, 692 F.2d 565, 572 (9th Cir.1982).
