MEMORANDUM OPINION

KENNEDY, Judge.

Defendant appeals his conviction for driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor (DUI). We issued a notice of proposed summary disposition proposing to reverse on the basis that the district court erred in allowing the arresting officer to give scientific evidence regarding Defendant's blood alcohol content. The State has responded that it does not oppose reversal of Defendant's conviction on this basis.

Accordingly, we reverse Defendant's conviction. Because we reverse on this basis, we do not reach the other grounds for reversal discussed in our notice of proposed summary disposition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

MICHAEL D. BUSTAMANTE, and TIMOTHY L. GARCIA, Judges, Concur.
