22                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION
 1 KENNEDY, Judge.

 2        Defendant appeals his convictions for aggravated fleeing, evading an officer,

 3 failure to display registration plate, and no insurance. We issued two calendar notices.

 4 We proposed affirmance in the first calendar notice. In the second calendar notice,

 5 we proposed to affirm on all issues raised on appeal, but we proposed to reverse on

 6 the double jeopardy issue raised in Defendant’s motion to amend the docketing

 7 statement. We proposed to hold that Defendant’s convictions for evading a police

 8 officer and aggravated fleeing violated Defendant’s right to be free from double

 9 jeopardy. Accordingly, we proposed to reverse Defendant’s conviction for evading

10 a police officer. In response to our second calendar notice, we have received a

11 memorandum in support from the State.

12        For the reasons discussed in our first and second calendar notices, we affirm

13 Defendant’s convictions for aggravated fleeing, failure to display registration plate,

14 and no insurance, and we reverse Defendant’s conviction for evading an officer. We

15 remand this case to the district court for entry of an amended judgment and sentence.

16        IT IS SO ORDERED.
