Via SCOTUSblog, here is the brief for the petitioner in Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, No. 07-591, on the Confrontation Clause and lab tech reports. My impression at this point is that the state has a seriously uphill battle here. We should be looking at other ways to make lab results admissible while still maintaining reasonable efficiency. Prerecorded examinations with cross-examination are one possibility.
