State Of Washington, Respondent V. Bahadar Singh, Appellant

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
STATE OF WASHINGTON,
Respondent,
BAHADAR SINGH
Appellant.
No. 70639-0-1
DIVISION ONE
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
FILED: 	MAY 	1 8 2015
PER CURIAM - Bahadar Singh appeals his convictions for six counts of
unlawful issuance of checks or drafts and one count of conspiracy to commit first
degree theft. 	He contends his right to a public trial was violated when the court
took peremptory challenges in writing at sidebar and later filed the written
challenges in the record. 	This contention is controlled by our decision in State v.
Filitaula, 	Wn. App. 	, 339 P.3d 221 (2014) (exercise of challenges for cause
in writing did not constitute a courtroom closure and not implicate public trial right
where form containing written challenges was filed in court record); see also
State v. Dunn. 180 Wn. App. 570, 575, 321 P.3d 1283 (2014), rev. denied, 181
Wn.2d 1030, 340 P.3d 228 (2015); State v. Love. 176 Wn. App. 911, 920, 309
P.3d 1209 (2013), rev. granted in part. 181 Wn.2d 1029, 340 P.3d 228 (2015).
Affirmed.
