OPINION
HAWKINS, Senior Circuit Judge:
In a case of first impression, we examine whether a district court may, over defense objection and after the administration of an unsuccessful Allen 1 charge, inquire into the reasons for a trial jury’s deadlock and then permit supplemental argument focused on those issues, where the issues in dispute are factual rather than legal. We conclude that allowing such a procedure in a criminal trial is an abuse of the discretion accorded district courts in the management of jury deliberations.
