THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent,
v.
MICHAEL DAVID KNIGHT, Defendant and Appellant.

No. A125579.

Court of Appeals of California, First District, Division Three.

Filed July 26, 2010.

McGUINESS, P.J.

Appellant Michael David Knight appeals his conviction for vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence (Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (c)(1)), arguing that the trial court erred by refusing to give the jury instructions on how to evaluate circumstantial evidence. We affirm.

On June 11, 2008, at about 5:00 p.m., Patricia Dellabruna was driving south in a pickup truck on Petaluma Hill Road, a two-lane road. It was a clear, dry day. Traffic was flowing steadily, with vehicles on the road traveling "around 40, 50 miles an hour." Ahead of her, Dellabruna saw a motorcycle driven by a male followed by a tan sedan with a male driver and a female passenger. John Gauthier was driving the motorcycle and appellant was driving the sedan.
