United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Renate Ann Chick, Defendant-appellant.united States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Ronald Martin Chick, Defendant-appellant, 139 F.3d 908 (9th Cir. 1998)

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Jack E. Tanner, District Judge, Presiding.

Before BROWNING and O'SCANNLAIN, Circuit Judges, and MARQUEZ, Senior District Judge^* .

ORDER

The parties are familiar with the facts and we will not restate them here. Ronald and Renate Chick appeal their convictions for conspiring to sell illegally modified satellite television receivers and for the sale of illegally modified satellite television receivers.

The Chicks contend that the district court erred under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 23(b) by permitting deliberations by a jury of less than twelve without just cause. Because the record does not indicate whether the trial court had sufficient cause to excuse a sick juror, we remand to the district court for the limited purpose of making supplementary findings.

REMANDED.
