Under the “jury shield law,” see La.C.E. art. 606(B), courts are prohibited from inquiring into the deliberative process except where there exists evidence of extraneous prejudicial influence. Defendant has not made a threshold showing that any extraneous prejudicial information influenced the deliberations [602]*602and therefore no evidentiary exploration of his allegations is warranted. In all other respects, the writ is denied.
