    Division One.
    August 12, 2002.]
    The State of Washington, Respondent, v. Darrell E. Murphy, Appellant.
    
    
      David L. Donnan and Oliver R. Davis (of Washington Appellate Project), for appellant.
    
      Norm Maleng, Prosecuting Attorney, and James M. Whisman, Deputy, for respondent.
   Per Curiam

Darrell Murphy entered into a plea agreement based on a mutual mistake regarding the standard sentencing range. Such a plea is involuntary and constitutes a manifest injustice. This is so regardless of the fact that the correct sentencing range is less onerous. The remedy is that Murphy may specifically enforce the plea agreement or may withdraw his guilty plea. The choice is Murphy’s, subject to the State’s right to present evidence of compelling reasons not to allow Murphy’s choice of remedy.

The State argues that the case of State v. McDermond rejects the rule found in Moon The Moon court held that any misadvisement of the standard range sentence to a defendant while deciding to accept or reject a plea agreement constituted a manifest injustice. McDermond holds that the analyses contained in Moon and Walsh should be only one part of a three-part test to determine whether the misadvisement was material to the defendant’s decision to plead guilty. We disagree. We believe the result in Mc-Dermond is improper given the Supreme Court’s opinion in Walsh.

Walsh holds that “[w]here a plea agreement is based on misinformation, as in this case, generally the defendant may choose specific enforcement of the agreement or withdrawal of the guilty plea” unless there are compelling reasons not to allow that remedy. As in Walsh, here the State does not argue it would be prejudiced by withdrawal of the plea nor interpose any other compelling reason.

The trial court erred in denying Murphy the opportunity to withdraw his plea. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
