                                           PER CURIAM
v.   Record No. 030081
                                        October 31, 2003
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA


               FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

      We granted the petition for appeal in this case to consider

whether the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that the trial

court did not err in (1) failing to dismiss the indictment on

double jeopardy grounds, (2) failing to disqualify the special

prosecutor and to dismiss and quash the indictment, and (3)

failing to set aside the jury verdict because the evidence was

insufficient as a matter of law.

      We have considered the questions, and, for the reasons

stated in the opinion of the Court of Appeals reported in 39 Va.

App. 342, 573 S.E.2d 272 (2002), we will affirm its judgment.

                                                           Affirmed.
