546 P.2d 232 (Nev. 1976)

Opinion

No. 8323

February 20, 1976

Appeal from the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; J. Charles Thompson, J.

Morgan D. Harris, Public Defender, Clark County, for Appellant.

Robert List, Attorney General, and George E. Holt, District Attorney, Clark County, for Respondent.


OPINION


After a jury trial, appellant stands convicted of second degree murder for the killing of Betty Alice McClure. Here, appellant contends the trial court erred in refusing a challenge for cause to a juror who was later excused peremptorily. We disagree.

After exhausting all peremptory challenges, the jury contained no one whom appellant had challenged for cause. Under such circumstances, we need not determine whether it was error for the trial court to deny the cause challenge. Odom v. State, 91 Nev. 473, 538 P.2d 167 (1975); Mears v. State, 83 Nev. 3, 422 P.2d 230 (1967).

Affirmed.
