WHITTEN v. STATE

No. A04-793.

690 N.W.2d 561 (2005)

Harold Christopher WHITTEN, petitioner, Appellant, v. STATE of Minnesota, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of Minnesota.

January 11, 2005.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John M. Stuart, State Public Defender, Susan J. Andrews, Assistant Public Defender, Minneapolis, MN, for appellant.

Mike Hatch, Attorney General, St. Paul, MN; and Amy Klobuchar, Hennepin County Attorney, Donna J. Wolfson, Assistant County Attorney, Minneapolis, MN, for respondent.

Considered and decided by ROBERT H. SCHUMACHER, Presiding Judge; MINGE, Judge; and FORSBERG, Judge.


OPINION

MINGE, Judge.

Appellant challenges his conviction of unlawful possession of a firearm, arguing that his probation-discharge order informed him that all of his civil rights were restored. Because we conclude appellant's due-process rights were violated when the government prosecuted appellant, we reverse the district court's denial of appellant's petition for postconviction relief and vacate appellant's conviction.
