Heading: Testimony of Prior Crimes

Text: Finally, Parks complains the state court admitted improper hearsay evidence on other crimes he committed. However, it is clear from the record that trial counsel’s objection to this testimony was sustained, and the jury was immediately admonished to disregard the witness’s remark. We are satisfied from our review of the record that the remark did not prejudice Parks. See Duvall v. Reynolds, 139 -12- F.3d 768, 788 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 119 S. Ct. 345 (1998) (“The improper admission of evidence of prior acts does not rise to the level of constitutional error if the trial judge later instructs the jury to disregard the evidence.”). The judgment of the district court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue forthwith. Entered for the Court John C. Porfilio
