   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3731
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Lay and Bye, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court's pretrial evidentiary 
   rulings under Rules 404(b) and 403 would be reviewed under an abuse of
   discretion standard; district court did not abuse its discretion in granting
   defendant's motion in limine to bar introduction of evidence of his 1999
   conviction for possession of marijuana as the conviction was remote and
   functionally dissimilar to the drug and firearms offenses charged here.
