The following excerpt is from USA v. Willard, 230 F.3d 1093 (9th Cir. 2000):
We review de novo the district court's interpretation and application of the sentencing guidelines. United States v. Zuniga , 66 F.3d 225, 227 (9th Cir. 1995). We review the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a conviction by examining whether, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979).
