                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

HANISEE, Chief Judge.

{1}    Defendant appeals his convictions of multiple counts of aggravated assault on a
peace officer and one count of aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer. This
Court’s first notice of proposed summary disposition proposed to affirm the judgment of
the district court and Defendant filed a memorandum in opposition to that disposition,
asserting that the State had failed to present evidence regarding one victim’s status as
a law enforcement officer. This Court then issued a second notice, proposing to vacate
one of Defendant’s convictions of aggravated assault on a peace officer. Defendant has
filed a second memorandum, supporting that reversal but continuing to oppose the
affirmance of his remaining convictions. With regard to those convictions, we remain
unpersuaded that the district court erred. We, therefore, affirm those convictions for the
reasons discussed in our second notice of proposed summary disposition.

{2}    With regard to the aggravated assault charges appearing as Count 2 in the
complaint, the State has filed a notice that it does not intend to oppose this Court’s
proposed reversal. Accordingly, we reverse and vacate Defendant’s conviction with
regard to Count 2, but affirm the judgment and sentence of the district court with regard
to Defendant’s remaining convictions.

{3}   IT IS SO ORDERED.

J. MILES HANISEE, Chief Judge
