The following excerpt is from People v. Jiminez, B279690 (Cal. App. 2018):
prima facie case].) Because we agree with the trial court that appellant failed to establish a prima facie case, "we do not evaluate the prosecution's stated reasons for the challenges. [Citation.]" (People v. Snchez (2016) 63 Cal.4th 411, 439; Young, supra, 34 Cal.4th at p. 1173 ["If the reviewing court concludes the trial court properly determined no prima facie case was made, it need not review the adequacy of the prosecutor's justifications, if any, for the peremptory challenges."].)
The judgment is affirmed.
