STATE of Oregon, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Alfred Lynn SIMS, aka Alfred L. Sims, Defendant-Appellant.
Defendant was convicted of reckless driving, ORS 811.140, and sentenced to probation. On appeal, he argues that the trial court erred in imposing a $255 driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) conviction fee and a $100 bench probation fee. He also argues that the trial court erred in imposing $1,181.44 in restitution for 32 hours of the victim’s lost wages. We reject without discussion defendant’s challenge to the imposition of restitution. The state concedes that the trial court erred in imposing the DUII conviction fee and bench probation fee. As the parties acknowledge, the DUII conviction fee was erroneously imposed because defendant was not convicted of DUII. On review of the record, we conclude that it is clear that the trial court intended to waive the bench probation fee. See generally State v. Sankey, 289 Or. App. 846, 409 P.3d 73 (2018) (reversing $255 DUII conviction fee and $100 bench probation fee where record was clear that the court intended to waive them).
Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay $255 DUII conviction fee and $100 bench probation fee reversed; otherwise affirmed.
PER CURIAM
