IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
DIVISION II
In the Matter of the Personal Restraint of: No. 54102-5-II
ZENAS MARQUIS MARTINEZ,
Petitioner.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
VELJACIC, J. — Zenas Martinez seeks relief from personal restraint imposed following his
2008 plea of guilty in adult court to assault in the first degree and unlawful possession of a firearm
in the second degree, crimes he committed when he was 16 years old. The trial court imposed a
standard range sentence of 207 months. He seeks resentencing for the trial court to consider the
mitigating qualities of youth under State v. Houston-Sconiers, 188 Wn.2d 1, 391 P.3d 409 (2017);
In re Pers. Restraint of Ali, 196 Wn.2d 220, 474 P.3d 507 (2020), cert. denied, 141 S. Ct. 1754
(2021); and In re Pers. Restraint of Domingo-Cornelio, 196 Wn.2d 255, 474 P.3d 524 (2020), cert.
denied, 141 S. Ct. 1753 (2021). The State concedes that Martinez is entitled to be resentenced
under Ali and Domingo-Cornelio. We accept the State’s concession and remand Martinez’s
judgment and sentence to the trial court for resentencing.
