1Opinion of the Court
CARL E. STEWART, Circuit Judge:
The defendant, Richard O’Keefe (“O’Keefe”), appeals from his jury conviction and sentence for “seaman’s manslaughter,” in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1115.
On appeal, O’Keefe brings the following claims of error: the district court erred (1) by rejecting his proposed jury instruction stating that gross negligence or heat of passion is necessary for a conviction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1115, and (2) in refusing to admit the Coast Guard’s accident report (“the report”) without redacting the headings identifying the report’s conclusions. We affirm.
