There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

[Q]: for a rational jury to find that Defendant Cloud was a member of the conspiracy for which he was indicted. The evidence demonstrated that Defendant Cloud combined his money together with Hall to purchase large quantities of drugs on repeated occasions.
