1Opinion of the Court

HANSEN, Circuit Judge.

Rocky Ernesto Baseope-Zurita and Jorge Enrique Zurita-Franco appeal from the final judgments entered by the district court 1 after they were found guilty of several drug offenses. They contend that the evidence is insufficient to sustain their convictions and that the district court erred by refusing to submit an instruction on venue. In addition, Baseope-Zurita argues that the district court erred by allowing jurors to ask questions during trial, and Zurita-Franco contends that the court erred in denying his challenge for cause of a venireperson. We affirm.
