SUPREME COURT MINUTES

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

S185447 ROLDAN (RICARDO) ON

H.C.

Order to show cause issued

Petitioner’s “Motion for Permission to File June 2, 2016, Letter Brief,” filed in this court on

June 10, 2016, is granted.

The Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is ordered to show cause

before this court, when the matter is placed on calendar, why the relief prayed for should not be

granted on the ground that, as alleged in Claim Three of the petition for a writ of habeas corpus,

Juror D. H. concealed on pretrial voir dire that she was acquainted with the prosecutor and had

previously worked with him. (See In re Hitchings (1993) 6 Cal.4th 97, 111 [“A juror who

conceals relevant facts or gives false answers during the voir dire examination . . . undermines the

jury selection process and commits misconduct.”]; In re Wallace (1944) 24 Cal.2d 933, 938 [“A

prospective juror would hardly commit perjury to conceal his relationship with one of the

prosecutors if he were not prejudiced.”].)

The written return is to be filed and served on or before July 29, 2016.

Corrigan, J., was absent and did not participate.

Votes: Cantil-Sakauye, C. J., Werdegar, Chin, Liu, Cuéllar, and Kruger, JJ.
