IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MILAN PAUL PAKES,

Petitioner,

v

JAMES A YATES, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

No C-04-5294 VRW

ORDER

The court directs respondent to brief the following

issues:

(1) Assuming arguendo that petitioner had established at

trial that no identifiable police vehicles were

pursuing petitioner from behind until after he passed

Sgt St. Amour’s roadblock, whether petitioner could

then have been convicted of the felony of violating

California Vehicle Code § 2800.2. If respondent

maintains that a conviction under § 2800.2 can be

sustained absent a showing of three or more

violations that are assigned a point count under

§ 12810 or damage to property, respondent shall cite

specific authority for this contention.

(2) Assuming arguendo that petitioner could not be

convicted of violating California Vehicle Code

§ 2800.2 under the circumstances described in issue

#1 above, whether it would nonetheless have been

“objectively reasonable” for the Court of Appeal to

deny petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus.

Respondent’s brief addressing these issues shall be

served and filed not more than twenty-one (21) days from the date

of this order. If petitioner wishes to file a responsive brief, he

shall do so within seven (7) days of the date respondent’s brief is

filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
