1Opinion of the Court
CHIN, Circuit Judge:
In this ease, defendant-appellant Jorge Cedeño was convicted of kidnapping, robbery, and related crimes. He was sentenced principally to 319 months’ impris onment. On appeal, he argues that the district court improperly limited cross-examination of a government witness at trial by barring his use of a state court’s finding that the witness had given false testimony in a prior judicial proceeding. We conclude that the district court’s evidentiary ruling was erroneous, but find that the error was harmless. Accordingly, we affirm. 1
