State v. Penn

State v. Penn
Court of Appeals of Oregon · Decided February 27, 1991 · Edmonds, Riggs, Warren
106 Or. App. 171; 805 P.2d 755; 1991 Ore. App. LEXIS 294

State v. Penn

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

Defendant appeals his conviction for robbery in the first degree. The trial court imposed a minimum sentence of five years under ORS 161.610. The statute requires that minimum when a defendant is convicted of a felony “having as an element the defendant’s use or threatened use of a firearm.” ORS 161.610(4). The state concedes that the imposition of the minimum was error, because robbery in the first degree does not require the use or threatened use of a deadly weapon and defendant was not charged in the indictment with using or threatening to use a firearm. We accept the state’s concession.

The trial court properly denied defendant’s motion for judgment of acquittal.

Conviction affirmed; remanded for resentencing.
