United States First Circuit

Conviction of aiding and abetting the making of a false claim against the United States in connection with defendant's 2008 federal income tax return is affirmed, where: 1) there was no error in the district court's aiding and abetting instruction; 2) the district court's aiding and abetting instruction did not constructively amend the indictment; and 3) the evidence was sufficient to permit a rational juror to find that Davis aided and abetted the tax preparer in filing a false claim.
