United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Robert Charles Blackcloud, Defendant-appellant, 951 F.2d 362 (9th Cir. 1991)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Robert Charles Blackcloud appeals his conviction in a bench trial for sexually assaulting a fellow prison inmate in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2241(a) (2). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.

Blackcloud argues that the evidence presented against him was insufficient to sustain a conviction. Blue Brief at pg. 8. In considering whether evidence suffices to support a defendant's conviction, the Court of Appeals will uphold the district court result if " 'any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.' " United States v. Torres-Medina, No. 90-50257, slip. op. 7131, 7134 (9th Cir. June 7, 1991) ( quoting Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979), reh. denied 444 U.S. 890). Upon a review of the record and transcript in this case, we conclude the district court properly found Blackcloud guilty as charged. Therefore, the conviction is AFFIRMED.
