## Text

RULE 105. Evidence That Is Not Admissible Against Other Parties or for Other Purposes

(a)
Limiting Admitted Evidence. If the court admits evidence that is admissible against a
party or for a purpose—but not against another party or for another purpose—the court, on
request, must restrict the evidence to its proper scope and instruct the jury accordingly.

(b)
Preserving a Claim of Error.

(1)
Court Admits the Evidence Without Restriction. A party may claim error in a
ruling to admit evidence that is admissible against a party or for a purpose—but not
against another party or for another purpose—only if the party requests the court to
restrict the evidence to its proper scope and instruct the jury accordingly.

(2)
Court Excludes the Evidence. A party may claim error in a ruling to exclude
evidence that is admissible against a party or for a purpose—but not against another
party or for another purpose—only if the party limits its offer to the party against
whom or the purpose for which the evidence is admissible.
