Corder

Following a jury trial, defendant Danny Jerry Corder was convicted of four counts of assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon or by means likely to produce great bodily injury, one count of felony evading a peace officer while driving in a reckless manner, and two counts of resisting an officer, along with an enhancement for personally inflicting great bodily injury. The trial court imposed a 12-year state prison term.

On appeal, defendant contends: (1) he cannot be convicted of felony evasion for driving that took place only on private roads; (2) there is insufficient evidence to sustain the felony evasion conviction; and (3) sentencing on the felony evasion count should have been stayed pursuant to Penal Code section 654. He additionally asks us to conduct an independent review of the trial court's ruling on his Pitchess 1 motion. We affirm.
