1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Circuit Judge.
David Brown and Bruce Troxel, Gary, Indiana police officers, were convicted of depriving an individual of his constitutional rights under color of law in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242 and of using a firearm in a crime of violence in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). Defendants ask us to reverse their convictions because: (1) the district court improperly admitted other occurrence evidence stemming from an altercation between Brown and a nude dancer, Jill Carda (“the Carda incident”); and (2) the district court improperly instructed the jury. We decline this invitation.
