The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hinton, 31 F.3d 817 (9th Cir. 1994):
Where defense counsel objects at trial to acts of alleged prosecutorial misconduct, we review for harmless error on defendant's appeal; absent such an objection, we review under the more deferential plain error standard. United States v. Endicott, 803 F.2d 506, 513 (9th Cir.1986).
