                                        No. 06-4245

                            UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

                                             v.

                                    HAKAN OZCELIK
                                    a/k/a Hakan Askin

                                      Hakan Ozcelik,
                                                Appellant

                     On Appeal from the United States District Court
                              for the District of New Jersey
                                (D.C. No. 05-cr-00722-1)
                      District Judge: Honorable Faith S. Hochberg

                                 Argued February 12, 2008

             Before: SLOVITER, SMITH, and STAPLETON, Circuit Judges

                             ORDER AMENDING OPINION

     IT IS ORDERED that the slip opinion in the above case, filed May 27, 2008, be
amended as follows:

        Page 12, line 17, “and indeed, made a joint request in favor of the very instruction
at issue,” should be deleted
      Page 14, add the following new footnote, signaled at the end of line 3 after
“outcome of the proceedings”:

          We decline to review Ozcelik’s two additional jury instruction claims.
      Because Ozcelik made a joint request in favor of the very instructions he now
      challenges, he waived his right to raise these instructional issues on appeal under
      the invited error doctrine. United States v. West Indies Transport, Inc., 127 F.3d
299, 311 (3d Cir. 1997).

                                                By the Court,

                                                  /s/ Dolores K. Sloviter
