U.S. COURT OF APPEALS2 1. The government demonstrated at trial that Anyanwu used the identification of another to make a false statement in an immigration document, without any legal authority, at a time when he knew that the person existed, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028A. Hence, there was sufficient evidence supporting the conviction. See United States v. Nevils , 598 F.3d 1158, 1164 (9th Cir. 2010) (en banc).
2. The government did not constructively amend the indictment by presenting a different conspiracy theory at trial than the one charged in the superseding indictment. Both the district court and the prosecutor explained to the jury that the conspiracy charge alle ged Anyanwu conspired to make a false statement to the federal authorities. The government also presented sufficient evidence which supported the conspiracy to make false statements to the United States Customs and Immigration Service with the goal of attaining permanent residency. Hence, there was no “complex of facts presented at trial distinctly different from those . . . in the indictment.” United States v. Adamson , 291 F.3d 606, 615 (9th Cir. 2002) (internal quotation marks and brackets omitted).3 3. The district court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted into evidence various documents from Anyanwu’ s alien registration file (“A-File”). Many of the documents were non-hearsay b ecause they were not admitted to prove the truth of the matters asserted, but ra ther, to prove the very falsity of the assertions made in the documents. The A-File documents were also admissible pursuant to the public records exception under Federal Rule of Evidence 803(8)(e), United States v. Hernandez–Herrera , 273 F.3d 1213, 1217–18 (9th Cir. 2001), and pursuant to Rule 801(d)(2)(E) as statements of co-conspirators in furtherance of a conspiracy.
4. The district court did not commit plain error when it provided the jury with Ninth Circuit Model Jury Instructi ons § 3.5 to define “reasonable doubt.” We have previously held that the district court’s submission of a § 3.5 instruction defining reasonable doubt does not constitute plain error. United States v. Ruiz , 462 F.3d 1082, 1086 (9th Cir. 2006). The instruction’s exclusion of speculation as a basis for reasonable doubt comports with the law. See Ramirez v. Hatcher , 136 F.3d 1209, 1212–13 (9th Cir. 1998). AFFIRMED.
