1Opinion of the Court
GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.
Larry Jongewaard was convicted of transmitting in interstate commerce a communication containing a threat to injure the person of another in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c). Jongewaard appeals, arguing that his conviction cannot stand because the Government failed to allege or prove that the relevant interstate communications were made to effect some change or achieve some goal through intimidation. Alternatively, Jongewaard contends that two evidentiary rulings by the district court 1 deprived him of a fair trial. For the following reasons, we affirm.
