Description
Andre Johnson, a California prisoner, appeals from the district courts judgment that dismissed his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Johnson alleges that the state prosecutor excused an African-American woman from the venire on the basis of her race, thereby violating the Equal Protection Clause as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 90 L. Ed. 2d 69, 106 S. Ct. 1712 (1986). A state appellate court rejected on direct appeal an analogous claim made under the California Constitution. The district court rejected Johnsons Batson claim after an evidentiary hearing. We reverse the judgment, and remand the case to the district court with instructions to issue the writ.
