The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Mesa-Farias, 53 F.3d 258 (9th Cir. 1995):
Before we address the sentencing issue, we must consider the sufficiency of the evidence. We evaluate the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, and reverse for insufficiency only if no rational trier of fact could have found the elements of the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Quinn, 18 F.3d 1461, 1465 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 114 S.Ct. 2755, 129 L.Ed.2d 871 (1994).
