Steven Smith won a judgment against Hogan Motor Leasing, Inc. for damages arising from an traffic accident.  During deliberations, the jury sent two questions to the district court.1  After conferring with counsel, the court responded with a supplemental jury instruction.  Hogan's appeal is based on a challenge to that instruction.  We have reviewed the evidence and the jury instructions and conclude that the district court acted within its discretion in giving the supplemental instruction.  The judgment is affirmed.
