## Opinion text

POPOVICH, Judge,
concurring:
I join the majority’s opinion as authored by the Honorable Phyllis W. Beck, except for Section IV, A of the opinion. Via dicta, Judge Beck, in effect, suggests a new rule of criminal procedure designed to dispose of Batson claims. The creation of new rules of procedure is neither the Superior Court’s function nor our providence. Accordingly, I limit my agreement with the majority.
