1Opinion of the Court

Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GINSBURG.

Concurring opinion filed by Circuit Judge KAVANAUGH.

GINSBURG, Circuit Judge:

Marlin Moore was convicted of making a materially false statement, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2), because he signed a *700false name on a Postal Service delivery-form. Moore admits he willfully signed a false name but argues his conviction must be reversed because no rational jury could have found the false name was “material” to any matter within the jurisdiction of the federal Government. We disagree and affirm his conviction.
