What is the effect of a motion for disqualification from a jury?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Duley, F077020 (Cal. App. 2020):

Before the matter came on for sentencing, defendant filed in this court a petition for a writ of prohibition challenging the denial of his disqualification motion. At the sentencing hearing, defendant opined he had "an issue of competency" based on psychiatric history dating back 20 years. Sentencing was continued pending disposition of the writ petition, which this court eventually denied. (Duley v. Superior Court

(Dec. 20, 2017) F076654.) Defendant thereafter filed a large volume of documents in support of his claim of innocence.
