NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

ORDER MODIFYING OPINION AND DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING, Super. Ct. No. F06901120-6

Wiseman, J.

THE COURT:

The petition for rehearing filed in the above-entitled matter is denied.

On the court’s own motion and for good cause shown, this court’s opinion filed on February 19, 2008, is modified as follows:

On page 11, in the first paragraph, the second sentence is modified to read as follows: “Chea adopts codefendant Yann’s argument that allowing Villalvazo to testify about the hearsay evidence that served as the foundation for his expert opinions violates the Sixth Amendment right to confront and cross-examine witnesses as defined by the United States Supreme Court in Crawford v. Washington (2004) 541 U.S. 36 (Crawford).”

The modification does not change the judgment.

I CONCUR: Vartabedian, Acting P.J.
