PER CURIAM Reversed and remanded.

Cite as 301 Or App 664 (2020) 665 PER CURIAM Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for unlawful possession of methamphetamine, ORS 475.894, arguing that the trial court erred in denying her motion to suppress evidence found during a warrantless search of her motel room. She asserts that the search was not justified by an exception to the warrant requirement and violated Article I, section 9, of the Oregon Constitution. The state concedes that no exception to the warrant requirement jus- tified the warrantless search of defendant’s room. We agree that, under the circumstances presented here, the trial court erred in denying defendant’s motion to suppress; we accept the state’s concession and reverse and remand.

Reversed and remanded.
