The following excerpt is from United States v. Hayat, 710 F.3d 875 (9th Cir. 2013):
case means he must demonstrate that it affected the outcome of the district court proceedings; and (4) the error seriously affects the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings, such that the court may exercise its discretion to remedy the error. Id. at 1429 (citing United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993)) (quotation marks, internal citations, and alterations omitted). Applying this plain error standard, I would reverse.
