PER CURIAM Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay “Chapter Assessment” reversed; otherwise affirmed.

840 State v. Griffin PER CURIAM Defendant, who was convicted of fourth-degree assault, ORS 163.160, argues on appeal, among other things, that the trial court plainly erred in imposing a “Chapter Assessment” of $500. The state concedes the error and concedes that the assessment should be reversed. We agree, accept the concession, and exercise our discretion to correct the error, for the reasons set forth in State v. Rowling, 259 Or App 290, 313 P3d 386 (2013) (correcting similar error). We reject defendant’s remaining arguments without discussion.

Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay “Chapter 163 Assessment” reversed; otherwise affirmed.
