The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Silks, 865 F.2d 266 (9th Cir. 1988):
Although the court could have called counsel in to discuss the jury's request, we cannot find it reversible error that it failed to do so in these circumstances. See United States v. Kupau, 781 F.2d 740 (9th Cir.), cert. denied 479 U.S. 823 (1986).
