STATE v. DORIE (2005)

Defendant appeals from his convictions for escape in the second degree, ORS 162.155, and assaulting a public safety officer, ORS 163.208, and from an order revoking his probation on a previous conviction for theft in the second degree, ORS 164.045.   He raises three assignments of error, only one of which requires discussion.

 In his third assignment of error, defendant asserts that the trial court erred in imposing a departure sentence on the escape conviction based on two aggravating factors-persistent involvement in similar criminal activity and being on probation at the time of the offense-that involved facts that defendant had not admitted and that a jury had not found beyond a reasonable doubt.   Defendant did not preserve that issue at the trial court.   In State v. Perez, 196 Or.App. 364, 102 P.3d 705 (2004), rev. pending (2005), we held that it was error under Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), and Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), for a court to rely on unadmitted and unproven facts, other than the fact of a prior conviction, in imposing a departure sentence.   We also held that the error was apparent on the face of the record.   The same principles apply here.

Sentence on conviction for escape in the second degree vacated;  remanded for resentencing;  otherwise affirmed.

 PER CURIAM.
