What is the standard of review for a motion for a Rule 29 motion for acquittal at the close of the prosecution case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Baker, 10 F.3d 1374 (9th Cir. 1993):

24 Bonnenfant does not frame his argument as a sufficiency of the evidence dispute, but as a challenge to the district court's denial of his Rule 29 motion for acquittal on count 6 at the close of the prosecution's case. The standards of review are the same. See United States v. Shirley, 884 F.2d 1130, 1134 (9th Cir.1989).
