            PER CURIAM 
v.  Record No. 020321 
 
November 1, 2002 
 
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA 
 
 
FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA 
 
 
 
In this appeal, the Court reviews a judgment of the Court 
of Appeals of Virginia which affirmed a circuit court judgment 
convicting the accused of involuntary manslaughter, in violation 
of Code § 18.2-36.1, after he had been convicted of driving 
while intoxicated, in violation of Code § 18.2-266, based upon 
the same evidence.  Dalo v. Commonwealth, 37 Va. App. 156, 554 
S.E.2d 705 (2001). 
 
The Court of Appeals held that double jeopardy principles 
did not bar the conviction of involuntary manslaughter following 
the conviction of driving while intoxicated. 
 
For the reasons set forth in the opinion of the Court of 
Appeals, we will affirm that court's judgment. 
Affirmed.
