Is a district court's denial of a proposed jury instruction reviewed for errors or abuse of discretion?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Majeno, 990 F.2d 1263 (9th Cir. 1993):

We have not resolved the "question whether a district court's denial of a proposed jury instruction is reviewed for errors of law, sometimes characterized as 'de novo,' or for an abuse of discretion." United States v. Streit, 962 F.2d 894, 897 (9th Cir.1992). We need not resolve this issue here because the result would be the same under either standard. See id.
