The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Blevins, 976 F.2d 738 (9th Cir. 1992):
The district court has considerable discretion in determining the appropriate scope and method of jury voir dire. United States v. Toomey, 764 F.2d 678, 682 (9th Cir.1985). Abuse of that discretion occurs if the questioning is not reasonably sufficient to test the jury for bias or partiality. United States v. Jones, 722 F.2d 528, 529 (9th Cir.1983).
