                          and No:  12-3914
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Habeas Case - motion to vacate. Defendants' claims that their rights were 
   violated by their absence while the court answered the jury's questions is 
   procedurally defaulted because they did not raise the issue during their 
   direct appeals and do not show cause to excuse the default. The 
   government's Rule 28(j) submission is disregarded, as Rule 28(j) is not a 
   procedure for supplementing the record. The request to supplement is 
   denied as moot.
