The following excerpt is from Sanchez v. Pacific Powder Co., 147 F.3d 1097 (9th Cir. 1998):
Because plaintiffs prevailed before the jury, we view the record in the light most favorable to them. See Gillette v. Delmore, 979 F.2d 1342, 1346 (9th Cir.1992) (when considering post-trial motions challenging jury verdicts, this court determines "whether the evidence, considered as a whole and viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, reasonably can support only a verdict for the moving party.").
