Today's per curiam opinions

Posted on December 9, 2010 by Trent England

West v. Reed, No. 83612-4. Arthur West sued Secretary of State Sam Reed, challenging his certification of Referendum 71 for the 2009 general election ballot. West's action was dismissed by the Thurston County Superior Court. Today, the Supreme Court dismisses his appeal as moot because the election was held and the referendum defeated by the voters.

State v. Gudgel, No. 83821-6. Gerald Gudgel was convicted of several crimes in 2002. In 2009, he filed a motion alleging that the state withhold evidence in his trial and challenging his conviction. The superior court dismissed the motion as time-barred and today the Supreme Court upholds that dismissal.
