STATE of Washington, Respondent,
v.
Jesse Ray JOHNSON, Appellant.
No. 38540-6-II.
Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 2.
May 11, 2010.
Rebecca Wold Bouchey, Attorney at Law, Mercer Island, WA, for Appellant.

PUBLISHED OPINION AFTER REMAND FROM THE WASHINGTON SUPREME COURT
HUNT, J.
¶ 1 Jesse Ray Johnson appeals his jury convictions for two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance (heroin and cocaine), Counts I and V, and one count unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, Count II. He argues that the search of his vehicle incident to his arrest was illegal and that the evidence should be suppressed. We reverse and remand to the trial court for further proceedings.
¶ 2 We incorporate by reference the facts recited in our May 11, 2010, published opinion affirming Jesse Ray Johnson's convictions.[1]State v. Johnson, 156 Wash.App. 82, *447 231 P.3d 225 (2010) (J. Houghton dissenting in part). We held that, under our decision in State v. Millan, 151 Wash.App. 492, 212 P.3d 603 (2009), reversed sub nom State v. Robinson, 171 Wash.2d 292, 253 P.3d 84 (2011), because Johnson had failed to move to suppress the evidence seized from his car, which police had searched incident to his arrest, he had failed to preserve for appeal whether this seizure was illegal under Arizona v. Gant, 556 U.S. 332, 129 S.Ct. 1710, 173 L.Ed.2d 485 (2009).[2]Johnson, 156 Wash. App. at 93, 231 P.3d 225. Our state Supreme Court granted Johnson's petition for review and remanded his appeal to us to reconsider in light of Robinson. State v. Johnson, 172 Wash.2d 1001, 257 P.3d 1112 (2011). The parties submitted supplemental briefs addressing the effect of Robinson on Johnson's appeal.
¶ 3 In Robinson, our Supreme Court held that (1) Gant applies retroactively to appellants whose cases were pending on direct appeal when the United States Supreme Court issued Gant, and (2) failure to raise a suppression issue below does not bar a defendant from raising a Gant issue for the first time on appeal if he meets four specific criteria.[3]Robinson, 171 Wash.2d at 303-08, 253 P.3d 84. In its supplement brief, the State concedes that (1) under Robinson, Johnson is entitled on appeal to challenge the vehicle search that led to his arrest and conviction; and (2) the vehicle search incident to Johnson's arrest was improper under Gant on the current record, which, in the absence of a motion to suppress based on Gant below, was made without exploring other possible legal grounds for the search. The parties agree that the proper remedy is to remand this matter back to the superior court for a new suppression hearing.
¶ 4 Accepting the State's concession of error and Johnson's concession that remand is the proper remedy, we hold that the vehicle search and seizure of evidence incident to Johnson's arrest was illegal under Gant and the facts before us in this appeal, and we reverse and remand to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with Robinson.
We concur: PENOYAR, C.J., and QUINN-BRINTNALL, J.
NOTES
[1]  Johnson did not appeal his conviction on Count IV, obstructing a law enforcement officer, arising from the same incident. He was acquitted on Count III, possessing dangerous weapons.
[2]  The United State Supreme Court issued Gant after Johnson's trial but before his direct appeal.
[3]  More specifically, the court stated:

We hold that principles of issue preservation, as embodied in RAP 2.5(a), do not apply where (1) a court issues a new controlling constitutional interpretation material to the defendant's case, (2) that interpretation overrules an existing controlling interpretation, (3) the new interpretation applies retroactively to the defendant, and (4) the defendant's trial was completed prior to the new interpretation.
Robinson, 171 Wash.2d at 307-08, 253 P.3d 84.
