Opinion

Defendant appeals his convictions and sentences for second-degree kidnapping, ORS 163.225, felony strangulation, ORS 163.187, and felony fourth-degree assault, ORS 163.160. He was tried to the court, but argues on appeal that his waiver of jury trial rights was not knowing and voluntary; we reject that argument for the reasons set forth in State v. Austin, 316 Or. App. 56, ––– P.3d –––– (2021), and State v. Gomez, 310 Or. App. 693, 485 P.3d 314 (2021). He also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his kidnapping conviction, and the courts imposition of a departure sentence on that conviction; we reject those arguments without discussion. Finally, defendant asserts that the trial court plainly erred in imposing incorrect post-prison supervision terms on all of the offenses. He notes that none of the post-prison supervision terms imposed in this case were of the correct length as specified in OAR 213-005-0002(2). The state concedes that defendant is correct as to that issue, and also points out that the post-prison supervision term for the kidnapping conviction failed to take into account the provisions of OAR 213-005-0002(4), which would limit the combined prison and post-prison supervision terms for that offense to a total of ten years. We agree and accept the concession, and we remand for the court to consider on resentencing the proper application of OAR 213-005-0002.

Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
