The opinion in this matter filed March 1, 2018, and appearing at 4 Cal.5th 421, is modified as follows:

2. At the end of the first paragraph on page 444, after the sentence ending in "discretion in these circumstances," the following sentence is added: "Nor has Perez established that the time allotted for voir dire violated his constitutional rights."

 

These modifications do not affect the judgment.
