Respondent's petition for review GRANTED.

Defendant's petition for review DENIED.

The issue to be briefed and argued is limited to the following question: Where the trial court found a prima face case of Wheeler/Batson error with regard to the third African-American potential juror removed by the prosecutor by peremptory challenge ( People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258 , 148 Cal.Rptr. 890 , 583 P.2d 748 ; Batson v. Kentucky (1986) 476 U.S. 79 , 106 S.Ct. 1712 , 90 L.Ed.2d 69 ), was the court required to obtain the prosecutor's reasons for removing each of the three African-American potential jurors or could the court limit its inquiry to the prosecutor's reasons for the third challenge?
