STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. PAUL A. DROPPELMAN, Appellant.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Per Curiam. Paul Droppelman appeals the restitution ordered after his guilty plea to vehicular assault. He contends, and the State concedes, that the evidence was insufficient to establish the requisite causal connection between his offense and a list of medical expenses for two victims. State v. Hahn, 100 Wn. App. 391, 399, 996 P.2d 1125 (2000) (there must be a causal connection between the victim's medical expenses and the crime; a list of medical services rendered on or after the date of the offense is insufficient, without more, to establish the requisite connection). We accept the concession and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Because the issue of whether the State may submit additional evidence on remand is not adequately briefed, we leave that question for the court to decide on remand. See State v. Griffith, 164 Wn.2d 960, 195 P.3d 506 (2008); State v. Dennis, 101 Wn. App. 223, 6 P.3d 1173 (2000).
Remanded for further proceedings.
