17 KENNEDY, Judge.
 1        Summary reversal and remand for a new trial was proposed for the reasons

 2 stated in the notice of proposed disposition filed on April 14, 2011. The State has

 3 filed a response to the calendar notice, indicating that it agrees with this Court’s

 4 proposed disposition to vacate Joe Bustamante’s (Defendant) conviction and remand

 5 this case for a new trial because Defendant’s right to counsel was violated.

 6        Accordingly, Defendant’s conviction is reversed, and the case is remanded to

 7 the district court.

 8        IT IS SO ORDERED.

 9                                               _______________________________
