MEMORANDUM

This is an appeal from a jury conviction of six counts of subscribing to a false income tax return in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7206(1). The only issue on appeal is whether the district court abused its discretion by allowing testimony concerning defendant’s gambling activities.

The gambling evidence was clearly relevant to the issues in the case under Federal Rule of Evidence 401. The district court handled the evidence in a manner such that the probative value of the evidence was not substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice under Federal Rule of Evidence 403. There was, therefore, no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Hinkson, 585 F.3d 1247, 1251 (9th Cir.2009) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
