State v. Palfenier

Opinion

*656 PER CURIAM

Defendant was convicted of two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, ORS 163.427, two counts of first-degree unlawful sexual penetration, ORS 163.411, and one count of fourth-degree assault, ORS 163.160. On appeal, he challenges his convictions and his sentence. We reject without discussion defendant’s challenges to his convictions. On the sexual abuse convictions, defendant received mandatory minimum sentences of 100 months for each conviction, ORS 137.700(2)(a)(P), and the court ordered that those sentences be served partially consecutively to one another, over defendant’s objection that the imposition of consecutive sentences required factfinding by the jury. The court imposed concurrent sentences on the remaining convictions. On appeal, defendant argues that the court erred in imposing consecutive sentences based on judicial factfinding. The state acknowledges that this issue is controlled by State v. Ice, 343 Or 248, 260, 170 P3d 1049 (2007), cert granted,_US _, 128 S Ct 1657 (2008). We agree.

Sentences vacated; remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
