Housing Authority of Seattle v. Powell

The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division One

159 Wn. App. 1005 (Wash. Ct. App. 2010)

Opinion

No. 65741-1-I.

Filed: December 20, 2010. UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court for King County, No. 09-2-07487-9, William L. Downing, J., entered July 2, 2010.


Reversed and remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) filed this unlawful detainer action against Shaunta Powell. The trial court entered judgment in favor of SHA and issued a writ of restitution. On appeal, SHA concedes that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction because the summons failed to apprise Powell of all of the statutorily acceptable methods of response under RCW 59.18.365. See Truly v. Heuft, 138 Wn. App. 913, 923, 158 P.3d 1276 (2007).

We accept SHA's concession, reverse the trial court's judgment, and remand for dismissal of the action. See Truly, 138 Wn. App. at 923.

Because SHA now concedes that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction, we need not address SHA's earlier motion to remand the case to the trial court for consideration of additional issues and evidence.

Reversed and remanded.
