STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. LISA CHRISTINE TAUSE, Appellant.


UNPUBLISHED OPINION

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. 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.

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).

Reversed and dismissed without prejudice.
