PER CURIAM Vacated and remanded. 538 State v. Kragt

PER CURIAM Defendant appeals an amended judgment of convic- tion for three counts of first-degree sodomy entered after a remand from this court in a prior appeal. See State v. Kragt,

,

(2018). All of defendant’s con- victions are for sex offenses subject to the post-prison super- vision (PPS) requirements of ORS 144.103. At issue are the terms of PPS imposed on each count. The trial court imposed 180 months’ PPS on the first count and 140 months’ PPS on each of the two remaining counts. Defendant contends that these terms of PPS are erroneous in two respects. One of defendant’s arguments is foreclosed by our case law, but the other is one on which defendant is entitled to relief. For one, defendant argues that ORS 144.103 required the trial court to impose a single unified term of PPS, rather than separate terms on each conviction. As defendant acknowledges, that is a contention we previously rejected in Norris v. Board of Parole,

,

(2010), rev den,

(2011), and Delavega v. Board of Parole,

,

(2008), and we are not per- suaded that we should overrule that line of authority. Defendant also contends that the trial court erred by imposing determinate terms of PPS. That is because, for certain sex offenses subject to ORS 144.103, including the offenses committed by defendant, ORS 144.103 requires the imposition of an indeterminate term of PPS, to be computed by the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision once the amount of time a defendant actually spent incarcerated is known: “Except as otherwise provided in ORS 137.765 and sub- section (2) of this section, any person sentenced to a term of imprisonment for [committing or attempting to commit specified sex offenses] shall serve a term of active post- prison supervision that continues until the term of the post-prison supervision, when added to the term of impris- onment served, equals the maximum statutory indetermi- nate sentence for the violation.” ORS 144.103(1); see also State v. Burch,

,

(1995) (explaining the nature of the PPS term required under ORS 144.103). The state concedes that Cite as

the terms of PPS imposed by the trial court should have been indeterminate under ORS 144.103(1), but argues that we should not correct any error because, in the state’s view, the determinate terms imposed do not prejudice defendant because, if anything, they might be too short. We are not persuaded by the state’s harmlessness argument. In view of ORS 144.103(1), the trial court lacked authority to impose determinate terms of PPS; it only had the authority to impose indeterminate terms. Where a judg- ment contains a provision that the trial court lacked author- ity to impose, we long have reversed and remanded for entry of a judgment that comports with the trial court’s scope of authority. See, e.g., State v. Potter,

,

(1991) (vacating term of judgment addressing con- ditions of incarceration, because trial courts lack authority to impose conditions of incarceration). In other words, being subject to a judgment term that a trial court lacked the authority to impose is a cognizable harm to a defendant. We therefore vacate and remand for the trial court to enter a judgment that comports with ORS 144.103. Vacated and remanded.
