State v. Robinson

— Richard Robinson seeks discretionary review of the dismissal of his appeal from a district court conviction for fourth degree assault. We grant discretionary review to consider the application of the constitutional requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967) and State v. Theobald, 78 Wn.2d 184, 470 P.2d 188 (1970) to an appeal from district court heard in superior court. Because Robinson has also raised a substantive issue which should have been considered by the Superior Court, we also accelerate review and reverse. RAP 18.12.
