What is the state of the law on racial discrimination in jury selection in a civil case?

Appellants do not present evidence regarding the population characteristics of the relevant community for jury selection or of any systematic exclusion of minorities from jury selection. They fail, therefore, to establish that they were denied a trial by a fair cross section of the community. Duren v. Missouri, 439 U.S. 357, 364-67, 99 S.Ct. 664, 58 L.Ed.2d 579 (1979).

The district court properly investigated the dismissed juror's statements by holding a hearing, questioning the affected juror, and allowing counsel to question the affected juror. United States v. Koon, 34 F.3d 1416, 1443 (9th Cir.1994), rev'd. on other grounds, Koon v. United States, 518 U.S. 81, 116 S.Ct. 2035, 135 L.Ed.2d 392 (1996). The district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to expand its investigation to include the remaining jurors.
