The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Walker, 993 F.2d 196 (9th Cir. 1993):
Walker contends that the evidence was insufficient to show that he had dominion and control over any of the drugs or carried a gun during a drug trafficking offense. See United States v. Castillo, 866 F.2d 1071, 1086 (9th Cir.1988); see also United States v. Martinez, 967 F.2d 1343, 1345-46 (9th Cir.1992).
