2 Prior to Morales, we reviewed such rulings for "manifest error." See, e.g., United States v. Dischner, 974 F.2d 1502, 1521 (9th Cir.1992). Morales overruled our prior cases to the extent that the manifest error standard is different from the abuse of discretion standard. Morales, 108 F.3d at 1035 n. 1.
