                                                          No. 53980-2-II
 RANDY PHILIP CAPPS,
                                                          UNPUBLISHED OPINION
                Petitioner.

       GLASGOW, A.C.J.—Randy Philip Capps seeks relief from personal restraint imposed following

his 1995 plea of guilty to aggravated first degree murder, a crime he committed when he was 20 years

old and for which he received a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. He argues

that under In re Personal Restraint of Monschke, 197 Wn.2d 305, 482 P.3d 276 (2021), his sentence is

unconstitutional and that he is entitled to be resentenced so that the trial court can take into account his

youthfulness at the time of his crimes. The State concedes that Capps is entitled to resentencing.

Accordingly, we grant Capps’s petition and remand his judgment and sentence to the trial court for

resentencing.

       A majority of the panel having determined that this opinion will not be printed in the Washington

Appellate Reports, but will be filed for public record in accordance with RCW 2.06.040, it is so ordered.

                                                    Glasgow, A.C.J.
 We concur:
