UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
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).
