The following excerpt is from Murillo v. U.S., 898 F.2d 156 (9th Cir. 1990):
Murillo does not dispute the fact that the jury was told all of the facts which Murillo contends undermines the witnesses' credibility. Moreover, the testimony of a single witness, even an informant, is sufficient to uphold a conviction. United States v. Larios, 640 F.2d 938, 940 (9th Cir.1981). In addition, the intent to distribute a controlled substance may be reasonably inferred from the possession of quantities larger than that required for personal use. United States v. Glenn, 667 F.2d 1269, 1272 (9th Cir.1982).
