OPINION
FOLEY, Judge.
The State appeals dismissal of gross misdemeanor DWI charges against defendants. The trial court held that defendants’ prior misdemeanor DWI convictions based on uncounseled guilty pleas may not be used to convert their current DWI offenses into gross misdemeanors because: 1) defendants did not validly waive their right to counsel, and 2) defendants were not informed of their rights in accordance with Minn.R.Crim.P. 15.02 or 15.03. We affirm. These cases are consolidated for a single opinion.
