MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Heggie v. Key Bank of Oregon, 981 F.2d 1258 (9th Cir. 1992):
The review on appeal is thus "limited to whether there was any evidence to support the jury's verdict, irrespective of its sufficiency, or whether plain error was committed which, if not noticed, would result in a 'manifest miscarriage of justice.' " Herrington v. Sonoma County, 834 F.2d 1488, 1500 (9th Cir.1987), am'd on other grounds, 857 F.2d 567 (9th Cir.1988), cert. denied, 489 U.S. 1090 (1989).
