1 We articulated a slightly different standard of review in United States v. Arambula-Ruiz, 987 F.2d 599 (9th Cir.1993), stating, "We review for abuse of discretion the district court's decision to admit co-conspirator statements and for clear error the underlying factual determination that a conspiracy existed and that the statements were made in furtherance of that conspiracy." Id. at 607.
