STATE v. LEE (2020)

Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for felony driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII). Among other terms, defendant was ordered to pay a $1,755 fine. On appeal, defendant challenges the fine, because the trial court announced in open court that it was imposing a $1,500 fine on the DUII conviction. The state concedes that the court erred in imposing a greater DUII fine than announced and argues that we should vacate the fine and remand for resentencing. We accept the state’s concession and agree that the correct disposition is to vacate the fine and remand for resentencing. See State v. Zamno, 299 Or. App. 270, 271, 450 P.3d 57 (2019) (error for court to impose DUII fine greater than announced at sentencing hearing; vacating fine and remanding for resentencing under former ORS 138.222(5)(a) (2015), repealed by Or. Laws 2017, ch. 529, § 26).¹ We reject defendant’s remaining assignment of error without discussion.

Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay a $1,755 DUII fine vacated; remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.

FOOTNOTES

1.   Former ORS 138.222 (2015) was repealed in 2017 as part of a comprehensive restructuring of the laws governing criminal appeals. See Senate Bill (SB) 896 (2017); Or. Laws 2017, ch. 529, § 26. Because the judgment in this case was entered before January 1, 2018, the effective date of SB 896, the former statute applies.
