   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3326
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and
   Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr., District Judge]
   Civil case - torts. In a suit for alienation of affection, the district court
   did not abuse its discretion in excluding evidence that the defendant had
   affairs with men other than plaintiff's former husband, as there was no
   evidence she had alienated the other men's affections or was aware that
   their affections had been alienated; in the absence of such evidence, the
   evidence of the affairs would only have been relevant to show she had a
   propensity for affairs, a prohibited purpose under Rule 404(a).
