Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Both of the supplemental jury instructions given by the district court during the jury's deliberations following Vega's trial constituted de facto Allen charges in the circumstances, under Jiminez v. Myers, so we reverse under United States v. Sea-well. We do not intimate that the instruc tion would be deemed an Allen charge in other circumstances where not given in response to a jury communication that the jury was at an impasse.
REVERSED.
