RACANELLI, P. J .
I concur in the result since the record before us demonstrates that the prosecution met its burden under People v. Buford (1982) 132 Cal.App.3d 288, 299 [182 Cal.Rptr. 904], justifying the statistical disparities reflected in the under-represented venire. I reserve judgment to a later day whether the County of Contra Costa is doing all that is realistically possible in order to remove any remaining vestiges of unrepresentative juries.
Appellant’s petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied April 18, 1984. Bird, C. J., was of the opinion that the petition should be granted.
