MEMORANDUM ***

Because the certified DMV records “fortifie[d], augment[ed], or supported]” Aguilar-Chavez’s post-arrest admission that he was not the owner of the truck, the corpus delicti rule was satisfied. See United States v. Corona-Garcia, 210 F.3d 973, 979 (9th Cir. 2000).

Aguilar-Chavez’s post-arrest admission that he was not the owner of the truck, coupled with the DMV records, was sufficient to support the jury’s determination that Aguilar-Chavez’s earlier statement to Agent Nielsen-that he was the owner of the truck-was false. See United States v. Lopez-Alvarez, 970 F.2d 583, 589 (9th Cir. 1992).

AFFIRMED.
