The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Riascos, 946 F.2d 899 (9th Cir. 1991):
Riascos contends that the district court erred in not granting his motions for acquittal and dismissal of charges. Considering the evidence against Riascos in the light most favorable to the government, as we must, United States v. Brannan, 898 F.2d 107, 109 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 111 S.Ct. 100, 112 L.Ed.2d 71 (1990), we find no error in the district court's refusal to grant the motions.
