1Opinion of the CourtJustice Cotter

¶1 On November 12,1999, a unanimous jury in the Eighth Judicial District, Cascade County, found Eugene Ford (Ford) guilty of deliberate homicide, a felony. He was sentenced to the Montana State Prison for life and was declared ineligible for parole. Ford appeals from this verdict and sentence.

¶2 The issue presente^ for review is whether the District Court properly denied Ford’s motion for the impanelment of a new jury. Ford alleges that the State violated his equal protection rights by improperly exercising its peremptory challenges so as to exclude women from Ford’s jury panel. We affirm.
