   MEMORANDUM

Defendant appeals his convictions, secured in two separate trials, for immigration fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a), 1015(a), 1425(a), and tax fraud, in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7206(1), (2). We affirm.

1. Defendant’s acquittal on one of the immigration-related charges does not mean that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions for the other immigration-related offenses. See United States v. Johnson, 804 F.2d 1078, 1083 (9th Cir.1986) (“The fact that a jury verdict of guilty on one count of an indictment is logically incompatible with a verdict of not guilty on another count does not warrant reversal of the conviction.”). The question is whether, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, any rational trier of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, the essential elements of the crimes of which the jury convicted Defendant. Id. (citing Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979)). Here, ample testimonial and documentary evidence supported Defendant’s convictions.

2. We reject Defendant’s argument with respect to the tax-related offenses for the same reasons. Consistency of the verdicts is not required, and there was ample documentary and testimonial evidence to support Defendant’s tax-related convictions under the Jackson standard.

3. The admission, in the tax trial, of testimony about Defendant’s submission of a false vehicle registration was not reversible error. Even assuming that the district court erred, “[t]his court reverses for nonconstitutional errors in admitting evidence only if it is more probable than not that the erroneous admission of the evidence materially affected the jurors’ verdict.” United States v. Arambula-Ruiz, 987 F.2d 599, 605 (9th Cir.1993) (internal quotation marks omitted). Here, the jury acquitted Defendant of the charge to which the challenged testimony was directed, and the evidence that supported the charges of conviction was overwhelming. Thus, any error that may have occurred was harmless.

AFFIRMED.
