STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. CAMINO [1] ORION GAHAGAN, Appellant.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Lau, J.
In our first opinion on this matter, we affirmed Camano Orion Gahagan's second degree assault and attempted first degree robbery convictions. We vacated the firearm sentence enhancement, and remanded for resentencing, however, because the trial court instructed Gahagan's jury it must be unanimous to answer whether the State proved the facts necessary to support a sentencing enhancement. Under State v. Bashaw, 169 Wn.2d 133, 145, 234 P.3d 195 (2010), such an instruction was error.
In State v. Nunez, 174 Wn.2d 708, 285 P.3d 21 (2012), however, the Supreme Court overruled Bashaw and expressly approved the instruction given here. The Supreme Court granted the State's petition for review only on the issue of the firearm enhancement and remanded to this court for reconsideration in light of Nunez.
In light of that decision, we now affirm Gahagan's sentence.
