Heading: Right to Due Process and Confrontation

Text: Reilly briefly argues that admission of hearsay statements against him by way of the coconspirator exception in Evidence Code section 1223 violates his state and federal right to due process. (U.S. Const., Amend. XIV; Cal. Const., art. I, § 7, subd. (a).) Other than a brief mention of the argument, however, he does not expand on the issue with either argument or citation to relevant authority. We thus decline to address the issue. ( Wharton, supra, 53 Cal.3d at p. 563; People v. Blankenship (1989) 213 Cal. App.3d 992, 995-996 [262 Cal. Rptr. 141].) (26) Both Hardy and Reilly also contend the admission of hearsay evidence under Evidence Code section 1223 violates their right to confront the witnesses against them. (U.S. Const., Amends. VI, XIV; Cal. Const., art. I, § 15.) Both this court and the United States Supreme Court have rejected this argument ( People v. Brawley (1969) 1 Cal.3d 277, 286-291 [82 Cal. Rptr. 161, 461 P.2d 361], cert. den. sub nom. Baker v. California 400 U.S. 993 [27 L.Ed.2d 441, 91 S.Ct. 462]; Bourjaily v. United States (1987) 483 U.S. 171, 183 [97 L.Ed.2d 144, 157-158, 107 S.Ct. 2775]), and neither defendant presents any reason why we should reexamine the issue. We therefore reject this argument as well.
