The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Ponce, 990 F.2d 1264 (9th Cir. 1993):
The agents found a computer disk at the home shared by two of the defendants, and made a printout of the data on it. Ponce argues that the printout was inadmissible hearsay, because insufficient foundation was laid to bring it within the business records exception or any other. We review the district court's decision for abuse of discretion. United States v. Huguez-Ibarra, 954 F.2d 546, 553 (9th Cir.1992).
