                         OPINION

BYBEE, Circuit Judge:

   Petitioner Rick Vo (“Vo”) and his wife Brenda (“Brenda”)
were indicted for conspiring to possess more than fifty grams
of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and for aiding
and abetting each other in the possession of more than fifty
grams of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. See 8
U.S.C. § 841(a)(1); 21 U.S.C. § 846. The Vos were arrested
after an employee of Mail Boxes, Etc., notified the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) that a suspicious package had
been dropped off for shipment to California by Federal
Express. The shipping label stated that the shipment contained
hair products and makeup, and the employee opened the box
pursuant to store policy to ensure that it did not contain any
aerosol products. Realizing that the package was suspicious
(because it did not contain hair products but rather contained
fifteen pounds of an unknown substance), the store clerk noti-
fied the FBI, and the FBI obtained a search warrant from a
federal magistrate judge. The FBI discovered four gallon
sized bags of a substance testing positive for methamphet-
amine. The Vos were arraigned and indicted in October 2002
for charges stemming from the methamphetamine possession.
In April 2003, Brenda pleaded guilty to conspiracy. A jury
convicted Rick Vo in May 2003 on one count, aiding and
abetting possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine
in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and 18 U.S.C. § 2.

   Vo raises three claims on appeal. First, Vo claims that the
district court erred by denying his Speedy Trial Act motion to
dismiss under 18 U.S.C. § 3161, because more than seventy
                      UNITED STATES v. VO                   7631
days elapsed between the filing of the government’s indict-
ment and Vo’s trial. Second, Vo claims that the district court
erred by allowing Brenda, his wife, to testify about marital
communications in violation of his marital communications
privilege. Third, Vo argues that the district court erred in
admitting evidence of a thirteen-year-old drug conviction in
violation of Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 402, 403, and
404(b). Finding no error, we affirm the conviction. Vo also
submitted a Rule 28(j) letter regarding the upward enhance-
ment of his sentence under the federal sentencing guidelines
by the district court. Because Vo did not challenge his sen-
tence on Sixth Amendment grounds in the district court, we
grant a limited remand pursuant to United States v. Ameline,
No. 02-30326, 2005 WL 1291977, at *11 (9th Cir. June 1,
2005) (en banc).

                 I.   SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

  [1] The Speedy Trial Act provides:

    In any case in which a plea of not guilty is entered,
    the trial of a defendant charged in an information or
    indictment with the commission of an offense shall
    commence within seventy days from the filing date
    (and making public) of the information or indict-
    ment, or from the date the defendant has appeared
    before a judicial officer of the court in which such
    charge is pending, whichever date last occurs.

18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1) (2004). The Act provides that certain
“periods of delay shall be excluded . . . in computing the time
within which the trial of any such offense must commence.”
18 U.S.C. § 3161(h). The list of excludable delays includes
“delay resulting from any pretrial motion, from the filing of
the motion through the conclusion of the hearing on, or other
prompt disposition of, such motion.” 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)
(1)(F); see, e.g., United States v. Springer, 51 F.3d 861, 865
(9th Cir. 1995) (motion in limine); United States v. Wirsing,
7632                     UNITED STATES v. VO
867 F.2d 1227, 1231 (9th Cir. 1989) (motion to detain a
defendant in pretrial confinement). “Congress intended sub-
section (F) to exclude from the Speedy Trial Act’s 70-day
limitation all time between the filing of a motion and the con-
clusion of the hearing on that motion, whether or not a delay
in holding that hearing is ‘reasonably necessary.’ ” Henderson
v. United States, 476 U.S. 321, 330 (1986).

   In this case there was a 215-day delay between the filing
of the indictment and the filing of Vo’s motion to dismiss. Of
this period, Vo does not contest the exclusion of some 143
days, leaving more than 70 days that are not excludable. In
this appeal he argues that the district court should not have
excluded twelve days between October 10-21, 2002. If that
period is excluded, then Vo’s trial was held within the con-
fines of the Speedy Trial Act. On the other hand, if those days
count for Speedy Trial Act purposes, then Vo was not tried in
a timely fashion and the Act requires that the court dismiss
the indictment either with or without prejudice. 18 U.S.C.
§ 3161(a)(2); see also United States v. Daychild, 357 F.3d
1082, 1090 (9th Cir. 2004) (“If trial does not commence
within the seventy-day limit, after setting aside excluded time,
the court must dismiss the indictment . . . . Thus, failure to
comply with the Act has grave consequences.”); United States
v. Hardeman, 249 F.3d 826, 828-29 (9th Cir. 2001) (per
curiam) (“The Act’s 70-day limit was therefore exceeded, see
18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1), and the indictment against [defen-
dant] must be dismissed.”).1

   Rick and Brenda Vo first appeared in district court, where
the government moved for their detention, on October 7,
2002. The district court set a detention hearing for three days
  1
   This court reviews de novo a district court’s application of the Speedy
Trial Act. United States v. Gorman, 314 F.3d 1105, 1110 (9th Cir. 2002);
United States v. Springer, 51 F.3d 861, 864 (9th Cir. 1995). The court
reviews the district court’s factual findings under the Speedy Trial Act for
clear error. United States v. Brickey, 289 F.3d 1144, 1150 (9th Cir. 2002).
                      UNITED STATES v. VO                    7633
later, on October 10, and remanded them to the custody of the
U.S. Marshal’s Service. On October 9, the grand jury returned
an indictment against the Vos. They appeared the following
day to be arraigned and to request a continuance of the deten-
tion hearing from October 10 to October 21 to present addi-
tional information from the Pretrial Services Officer. The
district court agreed to the continuance and set a trial date for
December 10. On October 21, the district court held the
detention hearing and granted the government’s motion to
detain the defendants.

   [2] Vo argues that the twelve days between October 10
through October 21, 2002, were not excludable from compu-
tation under the Act. He claims that, under United States v.
Clymer, 25 F.3d 824, 830 (9th Cir. 1994), a motion that does
not result in actual pretrial delay is unexcludable: “[Section]
3161(h)(1)(F) applies only when the delay in bringing the
case to trial is the result of the pendency of a pretrial motion.”
Id. (emphasis in original).

   We do not read Clymer to support Vo’s argument. In
Clymer the defendant had languished through a 522-day
delay, which the government claimed was entirely excludable.
The panel’s opinion granted some of the excludable delay, but
held that Clymer’s motion to dismiss the indictment for outra-
geous government conduct, which the district court decided to
refrain from ruling on until after the trial, did not constitute
excludable delay under the Act. Id. at 831-32. We found that
“[i]n effect, the district court denied the motion without preju-
dice to the filing of a renewed submission after the conclusion
of the trial.” Id. at 830. If we had held otherwise in Clymer,
the government would have had carte blanche in the prepara-
tion of its case, so long as it had some motion pending before
the court, even if resolution of the motion had been suspended
until after the trial. We noted that in the ordinary case
“[w]here delay in commencing a trial results from the pen-
dency of a motion (as when the district court holds off trial
pending a hearing on the motion), the delay will automatically
7634                     UNITED STATES v. VO
be excluded from the Speedy Trial Act calculation, no matter
how unreasonable or unnecessary that delay might seem.” Id.
at 830. But in Clymer “that causal relationship was reversed:
the pendency of the motion did not delay the start of the trial;
rather, the delay in the commencement of the trial caused the
delay in hearing the motion.” Id. at 831.

   [3] Clymer did not, and did not purport to, overrule our
prior cases holding that the time a motion is pending is
excludable even when the pendency of the motion causes no
actual delay in the trial. United States v. Crooks, 826 F.2d 4,
5 (9th Cir. 1987); United States v. Van Brandy, 726 F.2d 548,
551 (9th Cir. 1984); see also Daychild, 357 F.3d at 1095
(“[T]he district court’s five-day exclusion of the period
between [defendant’s] arraignment and the detention/bond
hearing held at his request . . . was proper.”). We, thus, do not
read Clymer as adopting the broad rule Vo advocates.2 As we
  2
    Our sister circuits have also reached the same conclusion. See, e.g.,
United States v. Cobb, 697 F.2d 38, 46 (2d Cir. 1982) (“We reject [the dis-
trict judge’s] causation analysis which would require that to be excludable
under [§ 3161(h)(1)(F)] a particular pretrial motion must have caused an
actual delay in the commencement of the trial. We accept, instead, the
government’s view that a pretrial motion triggers an automatic exclusion,
with the qualification, however, that the amount of time eligible for exclu-
sion may not be extended by postponing the hearing date or other disposi-
tion of the motion beyond what is reasonably necessary for processing the
motion.”), overruled by United States v. Matsushita, 794 F.2d 46, 51 (2d
Cir. 1986) (holding that the “reasonableness standard” stated in Cobb is
abrogated by Henderson, and stating that “any time consumed between the
filing of a pretrial motion and the conclusion of the hearing on that motion
is excludable without regard to the reasonableness of the length of time”)
(emphasis added); United States v. Novak, 715 F.2d 810, 813 (3d Cir.
1983) (“[T]he legislative history of the Speedy Trial Act clearly indicates
that Congress intended the exclusions under section 3161(h)(1)-(7) to
operate without requiring a factual determination of causation.”), over-
ruled by United States v. Felton, 811 F.2d 190, (3d Cir. 1987) (holding
that Henderson abrogated the “reasonableness standard” that the Third
Circuit previously imposed in Novak); United States v. Velasquez, 802
F.2d 104, 105-06 (4th Cir. 1986) (“[G]iven the [Supreme Court’s] ruling
in [Henderson v. United States] that “all time” is to be excluded, the cau-
                          UNITED STATES v. VO                           7635
recently observed, “[i]n the years since Clymer was decided,
its holding has been limited to situations in which a motion
is postponed until after trial.” United States v. Lewis, 349 F.3d
1116, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (per curiam) (citing United States
v. Gorman, 314 F.3d 1105, 1115 (9th Cir. 2002); United
States v. George, 85 F.3d 1433, 1436 (9th Cir. 1996);
Springer, 51 F.3d at 865). Except in the unusual case, such as
Clymer, “ ‘a pretrial motion triggers an automatic exclu-
sion,’ ” Van Brandy, 726 F.2d at 551 (citing United States v.
Cobb, 697 F.2d 38, 46 (2d Cir. 1982)), even though no actual
delay results, Crooks, 826 F.2d at 5.

   Our holding provides a clear rule for district courts and
counsel to follow, it puts counsel on notice from the outset as
to what is excludable, and it avoids gamesmanship. We affirm
the district court’s ruling that the detention motion pending
for twelve days between October 10 and October 21, 2002,
was excludable delay and that Vo’s Speedy Trial Act motion
was properly denied.

sation argument must also be rejected under § 3161(h)(1)(F).”); United
States v. Brim, 630 F.2d 1307, 1311-12 (8th Cir. 1980) (“The district court
considered the theories of each side and concluded that the Act intended
automatic exclusion. This interpretation is consistent with the language of
the Act, as amended, and with the apparent purpose of the amendment.”);
United States v. Vogl, 374 F.3d 976, 986 (10th Cir. 2004) (“Although we
have not previously reached this precise question of whether ‘actual delay’
must exist before excluding time under § 3161(h)(1), we find the reason-
ing of our sister circuits persuasive and consistent with our prior precedent
. . . [and] hold[ ] that no ‘actual delay’ is required for a district court to
exclude time under § 3161(h)(1)(F) . . . .” ); United States v. Stafford, 697
F.2d 1368, 1371-72 (11th Cir. 1983) (“We agree with this reasoning [that
§ 3161(h)(1)(F) creates automatic exclusions] and conclude that the trial
court in this case erred in deciding that the exclusions are not automatic.”);
United States v. Wilson, 835 F.2d 1440, 1443 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (“[W]e join
not only the Second Circuit but several others finding that the exclusion
of the time between the filing and disposition of pretrial motions under
§ 3161(h)(1)(F) is automatic and need not cause actual delay of the trial.”)
(citing Van Brandy, 726 F.2d at 551).
7636                      UNITED STATES v. VO
      II.   MARITAL COMMUNICATIONS PRIVILEGE

   Vo argues that the district court should not have permitted
Brenda to testify about their marital communications. Vo
failed to object at trial, so he must argue here that the admis-
sion of her testimony was plain error.3

   Brenda testified that Vo had asked her to send a box from
a shopping center near Playa del Rey, California, to Honolulu,
in September 2001. Although she initially declined to send the
box because Vo would not inform her of the contents, she
later agreed to Vo’s demands. She testified that when Vo han-
dled the box, he handled it in a way that would avoid leaving
fingerprints. Vo also had written the name of “Linda Chang”
as the sender on the box when he gave the box to Brenda to
send. Brenda testified that a month later, in October 2001, Vo
asked her to send another box to Honolulu, also with the name
“Linda Chang” as the sender. Brenda also testified to other
facts regarding the package recovered by the FBI and DEA
during trial. Additionally, Brenda testified that in 2002, she
observed Vo’s brother, Khanh Vo, give a United Parcel Ser-
vice agent a box to send, and testified that she saw Khanh
carry the box so as to avoid leaving fingerprints. Finally,
Brenda testified that in 2002, while staying at her parents
house in Hawaii, Vo asked her to go see a person named
“Crash Om” to pick up some money that Vo was owed for
drugs.

  [4] There are two types of marital privileges that may be
implicated when spouses testify against each other. “The first
permits a witness to refuse to testify against his or her spouse”
  3
    This court reviews de novo the district court’s construction of a federal
rule of evidence. United States v. Montgomery, 384 F.3d 1050, 1056 (9th
Cir. 2004); United States v. Angwin, 271 F.3d 786, 798 (9th Cir. 2001).
Federal Rule of Evidence 501 provides that “the privilege of a witness,
person, government, State or political subdivision thereof shall be gov-
erned by the principles of the common law,” and applies to the marital
communications privilege at issue in this case.
                     UNITED STATES v. VO                  7637
while they are married. United States v. Montgomery, 384
F.3d 1050, 1056 (9th Cir. 2004) (citing Trammel v. United
States, 445 U.S. 40, 53 (1980)). This privilege is not impli-
cated in this case because Brenda elected to testify against
Vo. See id. The second privilege, the marital communications
privilege, provides that “[c]ommunications between the
spouses, privately made, are generally assumed to have been
intended to be confidential, and hence they are privileged.”
Wolfle v. United States, 291 U.S. 7, 14 (1934). We have held
that “[t]he privilege (1) extends to words and acts intended to
be a communication; (2) requires a valid marriage; and (3)
applies only to confidential communications, i.e., those not
made in the presence of, or likely to be overheard by, third
parties.” Montgomery, 384 F.3d at 1056 (citing United States
v. Marashi, 913 F.2d 724, 729-30 (9th Cir. 1990)). We con-
strue the marital communications privilege narrowly, to pro-
mote marriage without thwarting the administration of justice.
Id.; Marashi, 913 F.2d at 730.

   The marital communications privilege is subject to an
important exception. The privilege does not shield marital
confidences when those confidences concern joint criminal
activity. “[T]he marital communications privilege does not
apply to statements made in furtherance of joint criminal
activity.” Marashi, 913 F.2d at 731. The exception has its
own limits: Where, for example, the wife has “not become a
participant at the time of her communications, no joint crimi-
nal activity ha[s] been undertaken,” and the joint criminal
activity exception does not apply. Montgomery, 384 F.3d at
1060; see also United States v. Westmoreland, 312 F.3d 302,
308 (7th Cir. 2002); United States v. Bey, 188 F.3d 1, 6 (1st
Cir. 1999); United States v. Evans, 966 F.2d 398, 401 (8th
Cir. 1992); United States v. Estes, 793 F.2d 465, 468 (2d Cir.
1986); United States v. Mendoza, 574 F.2d 1373, 1381 (5th
Cir. 1978). We need not decide whether Brenda was a partici-
pant in joint criminal activity at the time of her communica-
tions, because Vo waived the privilege by failing to assert it
at trial.
7638                    UNITED STATES v. VO
   Vo argues that, by failing to assert the privilege during trial,
he did not waive the marital communications privilege but
rather that he forfeited his privilege. This is significant
because Vo claims that the marital communications privilege
is a right, not a privilege. As Vo correctly asserts, the court
may review for plain error under United States v. Perez, 116
F.3d 840, 845 (9th Cir. 1997) (en banc), where a right is for-
feited in the trial court because it was not raised at all (as
opposed, that is, to having been raised and waived). See id. at
844 (forfeited right reviewed for plain error).

   [5] We have plainly held, however, that when the defendant
“failed to object to his wife’s testimony as to his communica-
tions when it was offered,” he has waived the privilege.
United States v. Figueroa-Paz, 468 F.2d 1055, 1057 (9th Cir.
1972). Recently, we affirmed that “Figueroa-Paz stands for
the rule that the marital communications privilege will be
waived if an objection is not timely made.” Montgomery, 384
F.3d at 1057. Because Vo neglected to assert the marital com-
munications privilege during pretrial conference or to object
at trial to Brenda’s testimony on the basis of the marital com-
munications privilege, he has waived the privilege. We there-
fore decline to review his claim of plain error.

         III.   EVIDENCE OF PRIOR CONVICTION

   Finally, Vo argues that the district court erred when it
admitted evidence that Vo was convicted in 1989 of two
counts of selling cocaine.4 The district court found that the
conviction was similar to the current charge, that the evidence
was being introduced to prove a material issue, and that the
prior conviction was not too remote. It concluded that proba-
  4
   We review for abuse of discretion a district court’s decision to admit
“other crimes” evidence, but the determination that evidence was within
the scope of the rule governing “other crimes” evidence is reviewed de
novo. United States v. Williams, 291 F.3d 1180, 1189 (9th Cir. 2002) (per
curiam) (citing FED. R. EVID. 404(b)).
                         UNITED STATES v. VO                         7639
tive value of the prior conviction substantially outweighed
any unfair prejudice. See FED. R. EVID. 403, 404(b). Vo stipu-
lated to the fact of his prior conviction, while reserving his
objection for appeal. The district court instructed the jury to
consider the prior conviction “only as it [bore] on his intent,
knowledge, absence of mistake, and for no other purpose.”

   [6] Evidence of a prior conviction, wrong, or act is inad-
missible under Rule 404(b) for the purpose of proving the
character of a person or that a defendant acted in conformity
with such character. FED. R. EVID. 404(b). Such evidence
“may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as
proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowl-
edge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident.” Id. “In
making admissibility decisions, the [district] court will admit
Rule 404(b) evidence if (1) the evidence tends to prove a
material point; (2) the prior act is not too remote in time; (3)
the evidence is sufficient to support a finding that the defen-
dant committed the other act; and (4) (in cases where knowl-
edge and intent are at issue) the act is similar to the offense
charged.” United States v. Verduzco, 373 F.3d 1022, 1027
(9th Cir. 2004) (citing United States v. Mayans, 17 F.3d 1174,
1181 (9th Cir. 1994)), cert. denied, 125 S.Ct. 508 (2004).
Having made this determination, the district court must deter-
mine whether the probative value of admission outweighs the
prejudice to the defendant. United States v. Johnson, 132 F.3d
1279, 1282 (9th Cir. 1997); see also United States v. Ross,
886 F.2d 264, 267 (9th Cir. 1989).

   The government argues that it offered Vo’s prior conviction
as evidence of his intent, knowledge, and absence of mistake
under Rule 404(b). Vo counters that the prior conviction was
old and that it was not relevant to the charged act, because the
charged act and prior conviction involve different material
elements. The government points out that Vo’s theory at trial
was that Brenda was the drug dealer in this scenario5 and that
  5
   “[Brenda] was a clever girl . . . . The evidence is going to show Brenda
knows how to cook crack. She knows how to cook dope. And the evidence
7640                      UNITED STATES v. VO
she implicated Vo because “by burning somebody else to get
herself out from under her awful, awful situation . . . benefits
[would] accrue.” United States v. Vo, No. 02-00411ACK,
Trial Transcript, 2-27, lines 21-23 (May 15, 2003) (opening
argument by Vo’s counsel). The government argues that it
offered the evidence of the prior conviction to refute Vo’s
claims that he was merely an innocent pawn in Brenda’s
scheme.6

   [7] “We have consistently held that evidence of a defen-
dant’s prior possession or sale of narcotics is relevant under
Rule 404(b) to issues of intent, knowledge, motive, opportu-
nity, and absence of mistake or accident in prosecutions for
possession of, importation of, and intent to distribute narcot-
ics.” United States v. Mehrmanesh, 689 F.2d 822, 832 (9th
Cir. 1982). When analyzing the similarity of prior drug crimes
under FED. R. EVID. 404(b), we look to the type of activity
undertaken, rather than the precise identity of the drugs, as the
relevant factor. See United States v. Vizcarra-Martinez, 66
F.3d 1006, 1015 (9th Cir. 1995). Indeed, “[w]hen offered to
prove knowledge, . . . the prior act need not be similar to the
charged act as long as the prior act was one which would tend
to make the existence of the defendant’s knowledge more
probable than it would be without the evidence.” United
States v. Ramirez-Jiminez, 967 F.2d 1321, 1326 (9th Cir.
1992) (citing FED. R. EVID. 401). Additionally, we have found
that a thirteen-year-old conviction is not too remote to be
admitted under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b). See Ross,
886 F.2d at 267; see also United States v. Rude, 88 F.3d 1538,

is going to show that she was involved with numerous people that cooked
crack, sold crack, and that she was not some minor dealer.” United States
v. Vo, No. 02-00411ACK, Trial Transcript, 2-21, lines 11, 21-25 (May 15,
2003) (opening argument by Vo’s counsel).

     “[A]cquit Rick Vo, and let the blame fall where it truly belongs, on the
lady who pled guilty.” United States v. Vo, No. 02-00411ACK, Trial Tran-
script, 2-29, lines 7-8 (May 15, 2003) (opening argument by Vo’s coun-
sel).
                      UNITED STATES v. VO                    7641
1550 (9th Cir. 1996) (holding an eight-year-old prior act
admissible). The remoteness of Vo’s conviction does not nec-
essarily preclude admissibility, because “[t]his court has not
identified a particular number of years after which past con-
duct becomes too remote.” Johnson, 132 F.3d at 1283. Thus,
if “[t]he prior act evidence in this case is sufficiently similar
to the charged conduct” it may “render it probative despite the
passage of time.” Id.

   [8] The district court did not abuse its discretion. Vo’s prior
conviction was evidence of his knowledge of drug trafficking
and distribution in general. The conviction tended to show
that Vo was familiar with distribution of illegal drugs and that
his actions in this case were not an accident or a mistake. In
addition, there is no issue about the sufficiency of evidence of
the prior bad act because Vo was convicted in state court.
United States v. Arambula-Ruiz, 987 F.2d 599, 603 (9th Cir.
1993). The district court “carefully weighed the probative
value versus the prejudicial effect of the evidence” and issued
appropriate limiting instructions to the jury, therefore properly
exercising its discretion to admit the evidence. United States
v. Chea, 231 F.3d 531, 535 (9th Cir. 2000). We therefore
affirm the district court’s admission of Vo’s prior conviction.

                        CONCLUSION

   Vo’s conviction is AFFIRMED. We REMAND to the dis-
trict court solely for the purpose of sentencing consistent with
United States v. Ameline, No. 02-30326, 2005 WL 1291977,
at *11 (9th Cir. June 1, 2005) (en banc).
