     *
         Of the District of Puerto Rico, sitting by designation.
            Per Curiam.        The district court's allowance of the

defendant's motion in limine was not an abuse of discretion and, a

fortiori,     the    court's    denial        of   the   ensuing      motion   for

reconsideration was also within its discretion.                Consequently, we

affirm the rulings from which the government has appealed.                     The

district court may, if circumstances warrant and if the court so

elects, revisit the in limine ruling during the trial.                 See, e.g.,

United States v. Marino, 200 F.3d 6, 11 (1st Cir. 1999) (explaining

that   "rulings     on   motions   in    limine     normally    are    considered

provisional, in the sense that the trial court may revisit its

pretrial evidentiary rulings at retrial when an evidentiary proffer

may be more accurately assessed in the context of . . . other

evidence").    In all events, we need go no further.



Affirmed.
