1Opinion of the CourtMeskill, Circuit J.
Appellant Wilfredo Batista, Superintendent of the Marcy Correctional Facility (state) appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Sweet, /., granting petitioner-appellee Kevin Smalls’ petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Smalls petitioned for the writ pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on the grounds that the trial court’s supplemental jury charge deprived him of his constitutional rights to due process of law and to an uncoerced jury verdict of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We affirm the grant of the writ by the district court.
