• noting that reconsideration is an “extraordinary remedy, to be used 23 sparingly in the interests of finality and conservation of judicial resources” (cleaned up)
• noting that Rule 59(e) offers an “extraordinary remedy, to be 16 used sparingly in the interests of finality and conservation of judicial resources”
• noting that officers may only be held liable for a failure to intervene 16 if they had a “realistic opportunity” to do so
• excluding evidence in part because it would lead to a “mini-trial” with “the potential for confusion of the issues and for unfair prejudice”
• noting the government’s \need\ for the Rule 404(b) evidence as a factor to be considered in the Rule 403 analysis
• affirming exclusion of evidence under Rule 403 that the defendant had previously attempted to murder her husband in part - 33 - because that prior act evidence was \particularly inflammatory\ and \undeniably explosive\
