O R D E R This 15th day of November 2000, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties and oral argument, the Court concludes that the Superior Court exercised its discretion in permitting the appellees to question appellant’s credibility pursuant to Delaware Rules of Evidence 608 (b) and that such questioning was not precluded by the Court’s pretrial ruling in limine. We find no abuse of discretion by the Superior Court in its evidentiary ruling or in its denial of a new trial and accordingly affirm.
