The following excerpt is from Reber v. U.S., 941 F.2d 975 (9th Cir. 1991):
The court's conclusion is a plausible view of the evidence; we cannot find that the district court was clearly erroneous. See Anderson v. City of Bessemer City, 470 U.S. 564, 573-74, 105 S.Ct. 1504, 1511-12, 84 L.Ed.2d 518 (1985) ("If the district court's account of the evidence is plausible in light of the record viewed in its entirety, the court of appeals may not reverse it even though convinced that had it been sitting as the trier of fact, it would have weighed the evidence differently.").
