PER CURIAM Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.

Cite as 301 Or App 662 (2020) 663 PER CURIAM Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for fel- ony driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) and reckless driving. Save for defendant’s first assignment of error, we reject without written discussion defendant’s assignments of error raised in his briefing, supplemental briefing (a nonunanimous jury instruction challenge), and pro se supplemental briefing. In the first assignment of error, defendant contends that the trial court plainly erred in imposing a sentence of 60 months’ imprisonment and 24 months’ post-prison supervision on the DUII conviction, because the imposed sentence exceeds the statutory maxi- mum for a Class C felony, ORS 161.605(3). See, e.g., State v. Baker, 207 Or App 516, 517, 142 P3d 121 (2006) (concluding that it was error apparent on the record to impose a sentence for a felony DUII conviction greater than the maximum indeterminate sentence of 60 months). The state concedes that the error is plain; we agree and accept the concession.

For the reasons expressed in State v. Remme, 173 Or App 546, 565 & n 15, 23 P3d 374 (2001) (the state’s concession of error, the significance of the error to the defendant’s liberty interest, and the ease of correction on remand), we exercise our discretion to correct the error.

Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
