OPINION
FELDMAN, Justice.
Sandra Perez and Manuel Ray Hernandez, and their son, Christopher Ray Perez (collectively Plaintiffs), sought review of a court of appeals’ decision holding that there is no conclusive presumption of prejudice for improper and unrecorded contacts between a bailiff and a jury. We granted review to determine whether Arizona recognizes a rule of presumed prejudice in cases of improper, ex parte communication between a bailiff and deliberating jurors. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz. Const, art. 6, § 5(3), Ariz. R.CivApp.P. 23, and A.R.S. § 12-120.24.
