Before WALSH, HOLLAND, and BERGER, Justices.
O R D E R
This 9th day of August 2001, upon consideration of the briefs of the
parties, we conclude that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in
admitting other crimes evidence in the State’s case-in-chief under the
standards set forth in Getz v. State, Del. Supr., 538 A.2d 726 (1988).  We
further conclude that because the defendant did not lodge an objection to the
court’s limiting instruction, review of that claim is subject to a plain error
standard of review.  See Wainwright v. State, Del. Supr., 504 A.2d 1096
(1986).  We find no plain error in the instruction given in this case.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the
Superior Court be, and the same hereby is,
AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
