IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
DIVISION II
In the Matter of the No. 51580-6-II
Personal Restraint of
LARELL HARTTLET.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
MELNICK, J. — Larell Harttlet seeks relief from personal restraint imposed following his
2010 plea of guilty to first degree robbery. He argues that his offender score should have been 3,
not 6. We remand his judgment and sentence for correction.
RCW 10.73.090(1) requires that a petition be filed within one year of the date that the
petitioner’s judgment and sentence becomes final. Harttlet’s judgment and sentence became final
on March 12, 2010, when the trial court entered it. RCW 10.73.090(3)(a). He did not file his
petition until March 19, 2018, more than one year later.1 Unless he shows that one of the
exceptions contained in RCW 10.73.100 applies or that his judgment and sentence is facially

invalid, his petition is time-barred. In re Pers. Restraint of Hemenway, 147 Wn.2d 529, 532-33,
55 P.3d 615 (2002).
Harttlet argues that his judgment and sentence is facially invalid because his criminal
history lists a first degree robbery prior conviction, which does not exist, and his offender score
counts that conviction as 3 points, when a first degree robbery prior conviction would only count
as 2 points. The State concedes that the judgment and sentence is facially invalid, but argues that
once errors in the judgment and sentence are corrected, Harttlet’s offender score is still 6, so his
judgment and sentence should be remanded for correction, not resentencing. In re Pers. Restraint
of Stockwell, 179 Wn.2d 588, 597, 316 P.3d 1007 (2014) (to obtain relief, petitioner must
demonstrate actual and substantial prejudice).
On March 12, 2010, Harttlet was sentenced under two cause numbers. In cause number
09-1-01946-2 (the 946 cause), he was sentenced for first degree robbery while armed with a deadly
weapon. In cause number 09-1-04299-5 (the 299 cause), he was sentenced for first degree assault
and second degree unlawful possession of a firearm.2 The 946 judgment and sentence correctly
listed three prior convictions, totaling three points, but erroneously included a first degree robbery
conviction which did not exist. It also erroneously omitted the first degree assault and second
degree unlawful possession of a firearm convictions in the 299 cause which, according to the
stipulation on prior record and offender score in the 946 cause, should have been included in the
946 cause as other current convictions. If the first degree robbery prior conviction is removed,
and the first degree assault and second degree unlawful possession of a firearm other current

convictions (scored as 2 points and 1 point, respectively) are added to the 946 judgment and
sentence, then Harttlet’s offender score remains 6.
Because the errors in Harttlet’s 946 judgment and sentence do not prejudice him and based
on the parties’ stipulation in the trial court, we remand his judgment and sentence for correction
as described above, rather than 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.
