IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

STATE OF WASHINGTON, No. 75508-1-1 Respondent, DIVISION ONE V.

JAMES EDWIN MULLINS, UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Appellant. FILED: MAR 1 2 2018

PER CURIAM. James Mullins appeals his convictions for second degree

murder and witness tampering, arguing in part that prosecutorial misconduct and

the court's failure to give instructions on intentional murder and manslaughter

denied him a fair trial. The State concedes these errors, noting that "[t]he State

has conferred with counsel for Mullins[who] concurs in the motion to remand for

a new trial," and that the remaining issues raised by Mullins on appeal are moot.

We accept the concession of error.

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.

For the Court:
