The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Faulkenberry, 967 F.2d 593 (9th Cir. 1992):
We must assume that the jury adhered to the court's limiting instructions. United States v. Sullivan, 595 F.2d 7, 8-9 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 442 U.S. 933 (1979). Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
