IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON DIVISION ONE
STATE OF WASHINGTON, ) No. 80303-4-I ) Respondent, ) ) v. ) UNPUBLISHED OPINION ) LISA CHRISTINE TAUSE, ) ) Appellant. )
PER CURIAM — Lisa Tause appeals her felony conviction for violation of a
no-contact order. She contends, and the State concedes, that the information was
constitutionally insufficient because it failed to include an essential element of the offense,
namely that Tause “willfully” violated the protection order.1 We accept the State's
concession and reverse and dismiss Tause’s conviction without prejudice. We decline to
address Tause’s remaining claims as they are now moot.
Reversed and dismissed without prejudice.
FOR THE COURT:
1 State v. Clowes, 104 Wn. App. 935, 944, 18 P.3d 596 (2001), disapproved of on other grounds by State v. Nonog, 169 Wn.2d 220, 237 P.3d 250 (2010).
