STATE of Oregon, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Destiny Annette PHILLIPS, Defendant-Appellant.
Defendant appeals a judgment convicting her of first-degree theft and imposing conditions of probation, as well as a supplemental judgment imposing restitution. She argues that the trial court erred in including in the judgment of conviction a condition of probation indicating that her failure to appear at a restitution hearing on a specified date would result in the waiver of her right to object to the imposition, amount, or distribution of restitution. That condition of probation had not been announced in open court. Defendant further argues that the court erred in subsequently imposing restitution in her absence—on a date other than the one specified in the judgment of conviction—because she did not validly waive her right to a hearing. She further argues that the court erred in imposing restitution in the absence of any evidence. The state concedes that the court erred in imposing the condition of probation because it had not been announced in open court, and that, under the circumstances, the court erred in imposing restitution in defendant's absence. We agree and accept the state's concession. See State v. Keen, 304 Or App 89, 466 P.3d 95 (2020) (court erred in including probation condition in judgment that was not announced in open court); State v. Sidener, 308 Or App 155, 478 P.3d 605 (2020) (court erred in imposing restitution in the defendant's absence under similar circumstances).
Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
PER CURIAM
