The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Nolan, 700 F.2d 479 (9th Cir. 1983):
In reviewing a claim that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict, we consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the government. Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 80, 62 S.Ct. 457, 469, 86 L.Ed. 680 (1942). We must sustain the judgment if there is substantial evidence to support it. Id.; United States v. Beecroft, 608 F.2d 753, 756 (9th Cir.1979).
