Text: 18 Before trial, Defendant sought exculpatory and impeachment material concerning Peralta, who was the government's chief witness. See Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) (holding that the prosecution's suppression of material evidence favorable to the accused violates due process). The government disclosed Peralta's criminal history and its payments to him, but did not disclose false names that Peralta had used. The government submitted a list of Peralta's false names in camera to the district court, which withheld the information. 19 We review for clear error, United States v. Strifler, 851 F.2d 1197, 1202 (9th Cir. 1988), and find none. Having reviewed the materials, there is no reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed, the result of the trial would have been different. See United States v. Brumel-Alvarez, 991 F.2d 1452, 1461 (9th Cir.1993) (stating standard).
