The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Devereaux, 902 F.2d 41 (9th Cir. 1989):
Appellant first asserts that the jury was not properly instructed regarding her intent to defraud. The record indicates that this issue was mistakenly raised on appeal since the district judge gave appellant's proposed instruction on intent to the jury. Where a defendant proposed the instruction which the court ultimately used, review is barred under the invited error doctrine. United States v. Benny, 786 F.2d 1410, 1417 (9th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 1017 (1986).
