Heading: Breast Augmentation Surgery

Text: 10 Judd argues on appeal that evidence of her breast augmentation should have been excluded under Rule 412. Rule 103 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, however, provides that error may not be predicated on a ruling admitting evidence unless there was a timely objection or motion to strike appear[ing] of record. Fed.R.Evid. 103(a)(1). Furthermore, an objection on specific grounds does not preserve the error for purposes of appeal on other grounds. United States v. Guerrero, 650 F.2d 728, 738-739 (5th Cir. Unit A July 1981) (holding that an objection for failure to lay a proper predicate did not preserve an error for inadmissible extrinsic act and hearsay). In this case, the motion in limine filed with regard to the admissibility of evidence of breast augmentation surgery cited only Rule 402 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. Similarly, when Judd was questioned about her surgery on cross-examination, her attorney objected only on the ground of relevancy. Judd's failure to object on the basis of Rule 412 precludes her from raising the issue of inadmissability under Rule 412 on appeal. We therefore conclude that Judd has waived her objection based on Rule 412 to the admission of evidence regarding her breast augmentation surgery.
