The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Pelose, 538 F.2d 41 (2nd Cir. 1976):
Since appellant did not voice the proper objections and thereby afford the district court an opportunity to correct any possible error his objections have been waived and the court's instruction will be scrutinized for plain error only. See United States v. Johnson, 516 F.2d 209, 212-13 (8th Cir. 1975), cert. denied, 423 U.S. 859, 96 S.Ct. 112, 46 L.Ed.2d 85. Finding no plain error in the district court's charge, we affirm.
