The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Stine, 70 F.3d 121 (9th Cir. 1995):
Stine contends that introduction of the district court's exhaustion order violated Rule 605 of the Federal Rules of Evidence ("The judge presiding at the trial may not testify in that trial as a witness."). The district court's ruling is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Manning, 56 F.3d 1188, 1196 (9th Cir.1995).
