Heading: Response to Jury Question Two

Text: 1 The Indictment charges Hall with “engag[ing] in a scheme to defraud ONE Foundation and HSBC Bank USA by misappropriating money that belonged to ONE Foundation for her own benefit.” The District Court did not commit plain error by responding to Jury Question Two by referring the Jury to the previously issued Jury Instructions. United States v. Preston, 706 F.3d 1106, 1122 (9th Cir. 2013). The Jury Question was unclear. Accordingly, either a “yes” or a “no” response would have presented an equal if not greater chance of being “misleading, unresponsive, or legally incorrect.” United States v. Anekwu, 695 F.3d 986, 986 (9th Cir. 2012). AFFIRMED.
