The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Barrera, 872 F.2d 430 (9th Cir. 1989):
1 Barrera does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to establish her intent to distribute. That intent may be inferred from the value and quantity of the marijuana she possessed. See United States v. Savinovich, 845 F.2d 834, 838 (9th Cir.1988).
