E060438 Fourth Appellate District, Div. 2
Supplemental briefing ordered
In his reply brief, appellant Chavez observes that respondent appears to have conceded in other cases in which the trial predated People v. Sanchez (2016) 63 Cal.4th 665 that objections under the Confrontation Clause (U.S. Const., 6th Amend.) to case-specific hearsay testimony by gang experts would have been futile. (See App. Reply Brief, at p. 23, citing People v. Perez (Jan. 22, 2019, F073736) [nonpub. opn.] 2019 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 461, at p. *22; People v. Coronado (Nov. 13, 2018, F072867) [nonpub. opn.] 2018 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 7740, at *26.) Respondent is directed to serve and file a supplemental letter brief clarifying its position in this case on or before July 31, 2019. Appellant Chavez may serve and file a reply letter brief in response on or before August 14, 2019. No extension of time for the filing of these briefs is contemplated.
