The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Marashi, 913 F.2d 724 (9th Cir. 1990):
Marashi next argues that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions. In evaluating such a claim, we must review the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether any rational fact finder could have found the essential elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Adler, 879 F.2d 491, 495 (9th Cir.1988).
