1Opinion of the CourtJustice Eid

{1 We granted certiorari in this case, along with Perez v. People, 2013 CO 22, 302 P.3d 222, and Robles v. People, 2013 CO 24, 302 P.3d 229, to determine whether a trial court may refer to prospective jurors by number, instead of name, in open court as a matter of routine policy.1

12 For the reasons discussed in Peres, % 14-19, we conclude that the trial court did not err, nor commit plain error, in referring to the prospective jurors by number, instead of by name, when the jurors' identifying information was provided to the defendant. Thus, we affirm the court of appeals' judgment.
