Filed Washington State Court of Appeals Division Two June 28, 2016 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON DIVISION II In re the Matter of the Personal Restraint Petition of No. 48418-8-II MICHAEL JAMES CANTY, Petitioner. UNPUBLISHED OPINION MAXA, J. — Michael Canty seeks relief from personal restraint imposed following his convictions in 2001 of indecent liberties, first degree burglary, and second degree robbery. He argues that his judgment and sentence is facially invalid because it gives him credit for 161 days served when he actually served 173 days. The State concedes that Canty’s judgment and sentence misstates the amount of credit for time served and states that he is entitled to credit for 184 days served. It further concedes that Canty’s judgment and sentence is facially invalid and is not subject to the time bar contained in RCW 10.73.090(1). The State asks that we remand Canty’s judgment and sentence for correction of the amount of credit for time served. We accept the concession and grant Canty’s personal restraint petition. We remand his judgment and sentence to the trial court to be corrected as described above. No. 48418-8-II Canty also requests relief in the form of compelling the end of sentence review committee to change its narrative about his criminal history. This request is beyond the scope of this petition and is therefore denied. 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. MAXA, J. We concur: BJORGEN, C.J. SUTTON, J. 2
