In re the Personal Restraint of Sappenfield

— Sappenfield filed two separate personal restraint petitions (PRPs) in different divisions of the Court of Appeals. In both PRPs, Sappenfield challenged the Department of Correction’s ongoing attempt to collect payments owed on restitution orders stemming from 1986 convictions in two different counties. The two Court of Appeals’ decisions reached different results, and those decisions were consolidated for review. We find the sentencing courts’ jurisdiction over those 1986 restitution orders lapsed and order the Department of Corrections to stop its collection efforts on the 1986 orders.
