Before 
VOIGT, C.J., and GOLDEN, HILL, KITE, and BURKE, 
JJ.

 
 
VOIGT, 
Chief Justice.

 
 
[¶1]      The State 
conceded at oral argument that this case must be remanded to the district court 
for the purpose of allowing the appellant to withdraw his conditional no contest 
plea, and to plead anew.  A 
conditional plea under W.R.Cr.P. 11(a)(2) may not be utilized to reserve 
argument on non-dispositive matters.  
Walters v. State, 2008 WY 159, 
¶¶ 16-23, 197 P.3d 1273, 1278-79 (Wyo. 2008).  The appellant's motion seeking to 
prevent the admission of uncharged misconduct evidence under W.R.E. 404(b) was 
not a dispositive motion.  We will 
not resolve other issues raised by the appellant because such issues may not 
survive in their current form, making any such resolution advisory in 
nature.

 
 
[¶2]      Reversed and 
remanded for further proceedings consistent with this 
opinion.
