U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 23-417 D.C. No. Plaintiff - Appellee, 3:21-cr-00035-IM-1 v.
MEMORANDUM*
MICHAEL WAYNE LYON,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Karin J. Immergut, District Judge, Presiding
Argued and Submitted June 6, 2024 Portland, Oregon
Before: RAWLINSON, FORREST, and SUNG, Circuit Judges.
Michael Wayne Lyon appeals his jury conviction on one count of using a
minor, ML, to produce a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct, in violation
of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a) and (e). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291,
and we affirm.
* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. 1. The district court did not err in denying Lyon’s motion for acquittal.
“Where a defendant move[s] for acquittal before the district court, this court
reviews de novo whether sufficient evidence exists to support a guilty verdict.”
