             In the above entitled cause the Clerk will enter:


     Defendant appeals from a jury conviction of aggravated assault in
violation of 13 V.S.A. { 1024(a)(1), which provides, in part, that a person
is guilty of aggravated assault if he causes serious bodily injury reck-
lessly "under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value
of human life."  The sole issue is whether the evidence, when viewed in a
light most favorable to the State, was sufficient for a reasonable jury to
conclude that defendant's actions manifested extreme indifference to the
value of human life.  See State v. Lupien, 143 Vt. 378, 381,
