            I JUDITH CALHOUN, declare that:

            On January 17, 2003, I attended a remand hearing in King County District Court, Bellevue Division for City of Mercer Island v. Knight, Nos. MIC 84199 and MIC 84268.  Wayne Stewart represented the City, and Mr. Knight represented himself.

            Judge Janet Garrow read the remand paperwork and said that the convictions were reversed on appeal.  She asked Mr. Stewart if the City was ready to proceed.  Mr. Stewart answered that the City was not going to proceed and moved for dismissal without prejudice.

            Judge Garrow asked Mr. Knight what his position was on the City’s motion for dismissal.  He responded that he respectfully requests that the dismissal be with prejudice and that the appeal bond be exonerated.  He asked that if the City was so kind to have paid the $50.00 in costs awarded to him by King County Superior Court, he would like to have that money too.

            Judge Garrow granted the dismissal with prejudice and ordered the appeal bond exonerated.  Judge Garrow said that the award for costs on appeal was a Superior Court issue and she was certain that the City understood its responsibilities there.

            No evidence was entered into the record by the City of Mercer Island at this remand hearing.

            I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and correct.

Dated this 18th day of January, 2003, in Seattle, Washington respectfully submitted,
