California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Chacon, B225741 (Cal. App. 2011):
Evidence Code section 1200 defines "hearsay" as "evidence of a statement that was made other than by a witness while testifying at the hearing and that is offered to prove the truth of the matter stated." A statement that is intended to show that the hearer's subsequent actions were in conformity with the information provided in that statement is not hearsay:
