THE COURT: 
 
The opinion in this matter filed on February 4, 2019, and 
appearing at 6 Cal.5th 632, is modified as follows:

further conclude defendant failed to preserve the claim that the trial

find no error in any event” is modified to read: 
We further conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in 
denying severance.

2.  On page 690, the first two paragraphs and the first sentence of 
the third paragraph are deleted.  A new sentence is added at the 
beginning of the third paragraph, reading: 
There was no abuse of discretion in this case. 
3.  In the final paragraph on page 694, the sentence reading, 
“Watkins agreed, but noted that there were several images that were 
‘borderline’ as to the subject’s age, and he did not include those in the 
85 he deemed questionable” is modified to read: 
Watkins agreed, but noted that there were several images that 
were “borderline” as to the subject’s age, and he gave defendant “the 
benefit of the doubt” as to those images. 
 
This modification does not affect the judgment. 
The petition for rehearing is denied.
