ROSALES-LOPEZ v. UNITED STATES.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided April 21, 1981.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John J. Cleary, by appointment of the Court, 449 U.S. 947, argued the cause and filed a brief for petitioner.

George W. Jones argued the cause pro hac vice for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General McCree, Assistant Attorney General Heymann, Deputy Solicitor General Frey, and John De Pue.

JUSTICE WHITE announced the judgment of the Court and delivered an opinion, in which JUSTICE STEWART, JUSTICE BLACKMUN, and JUSTICE POWELL joined.

The question here is whether it was reversible error for a federal trial court in a criminal case to reject the defendant's request that the court's voir dire of prospective jurors inquire further into the possibility of racial or ethnic prejudice against the defendant.
