The following excerpt is from People v. Ochoa, 110 Cal.Rptr.2d 324, 26 Cal.4th 398, 28 P.3d 78 (Cal. 2001):
9. Defendant now raises numerous state and federal constitutional grounds for error. The Attorney General contends these grounds were not preserved for appeal. As our analysis of alleged evidentiary error generally does not depend on whether the defense attaches the violation to the federal Constitution (see People v. Cudjo (1993) 6 Cal.4th 585, 611-612, 25 Cal.Rptr.2d 390, 863 P.2d 635), we need not determine whether defendant preserved these grounds.
10. The court adjourned on Friday, August 14, to give the defense additional preparation time.
