The following excerpt is from United States v. Thornhill, 940 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2019):
A district courts evidentiary rulings are reviewed for abuse of discretion. United States v. Curtin , 489 F.3d 935, 943 (9th Cir. 2007) (en banc). We find abuse of discretion only when we "ha[ve] a definite and firm conviction that the district court committed a clear error of judgment." United States v. Boulware , 384 F.3d 794, 801 (9th Cir. 2004) (internal quotations omitted).
