STATE OF OREGON v. DENNIS BRUCE KNIGHT (2016)

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

STATE OF OREGON, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. DENNIS BRUCE KNIGHT, Defendant-Appellant.

Clackamas County Circuit Court CR1202050

Decided: November 02, 2016

Before Duncan, Presiding Judge, and DeVore, Judge, and Garrett, Judge.

Ernest G. Lannet, Chief Defender, Criminal Appellate Section, and Shawn E. Wiley, Deputy Public Defender, Office of Public Defense Services, filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Susan G. Howe, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.

PER CURIAM

Defendant appeals after being convicted of various sexual offenses. We reject without discussion all of defendant's assignments of error, except for his third. In that third assignment, defendant argues that the trial court erred by imposing a “Mandatory State Amt” on each conviction. The state concedes that the trial court did not have authority to impose those separate assessments and that they should be reversed. We agree and accepted the state's concession. See State v. Pranzetti, 269 Or App 410, 344 P3d 547 (2015) (explaining that no statute authorized the trial court to impose a “mandatory state amt”).

Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay “mandatory state amt” on each conviction reversed; otherwise affirmed.
