 1 BUSTAMANTE, Judge.

 2   {1}   Defendant appeals from the judgment and sentence setting forth his convictions

 3 for the petty misdemeanor of concealing identity and for felony possession of a

 4 controlled substance. [RP 99] Our second calendar notice proposed (1) to affirm

 5 Defendant’s conviction for concealing identity, and (2) to reverse and remand for a

 6 new trial for Defendant’s possession of a controlled substance conviction based on the

 7 failure to instruct on the elements of the crime. In its response, the State provides that

 8 it will not be filing a memorandum in opposition.

 9   {2}   For the reasons detailed in our second notice, we affirm Defendant’s conviction

10 for concealing identity, and reverse and remand for a new trial for Defendant’s

11 conviction for possession of a controlled substance.

12   {3}   IT IS SO ORDERED.
