Heading: Whether Pipkins's conduct constituted extortion within the meaning of the Hobbs Act;

Text: 22 C. Whether the district court properly instructed the jury on the interstate commerce element of the Hobbs Act; 23 D. Whether the evidence was sufficient to support Pipkins's involuntary servitude conviction; 24 E. Whether the evidence was sufficient to support Pipkins's conviction for transfer of false identification documents; and F. Whether the district court properly calculated Pipkins's and Moore's sentences under the Sentencing Guidelines. 2 25 Where issues relative to the sufficiency of the evidence were preserved by a proper motion for judgment of acquittal, we review de novo whether sufficient evidence existed to support the jury's verdict, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, with all reasonable inferences and credibility choices made in the government's favor; we will affirm if a reasonable trier of fact could conclude that the evidence establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
