1Opinion of the Court
FELDMAN, Vice Chief Justice.
The state seeks relief from an order requiring the prosecutor to explain his use of peremptory challenges against two Black members of a jury panel. The court of appeals affirmed, State v. Superior Court, 156 Ariz. 512, 753 P.2d 1168 (Ct.App.1987), and we granted review to consider whether a Caucasian defendant has standing to object to a prosecutor’s alleged discriminatory use of peremptory challenges to remove all Black members of a jury panel. We have jurisdiction under Ariz. Const, art. 6, § 5.
