What is the standard of review for a motion seeking to overturn a finding of fact?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. de la Jara, 973 F.2d 746 (9th Cir. 1992):
Under the deferential standard of review governing the district court's findings of fact, we must affirm "unless we have the 'definite and firm conviction' that a mistake has been made." Woods v. Graphic Communications, 925 F.2d 1195, 1199 (9th Cir.1991) (quoting Vasconcelos v. Meese, 907 F.2d 111, 112 (9th Cir.1990)). We are left with just such a conviction in this case.
