CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.

Kelvin Steele was convicted of armed robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and (d); using and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1); and being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He was sentenced to 235 months in jail. He now appeals his conviction on the grounds that: (1) the district court gave a coercive Allen charge, (2) the government committed prosecutorial misconduct during the voir dire and (3) the government improperly used a peremptory challenge. We affirm.
