PER CURIAM Reversed and remanded.

844 State v. Cannon PER CURIAM Defendant was convicted of first-degree burglary by nonunanimous jury verdict. ORS 164.225. Defendant con- tends that the trial court’s acceptance of a nonunanimous verdict constitutes plain error under the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In Ramos v. Louisiana, ___ US ___, 140 S Ct 1390, 206 L Ed 2d 583 (2020), the Court concluded that nonunanimous jury verdicts violated the Sixth Amendment. In State v. Ulery, 366 Or 500, 504, 464 P3d 1123 (2020), the Oregon Supreme Court concluded that a trial court’s acceptance of a nonunanimous verdict constituted plain error and exercised discretion to correct that error in light of the gravity of the error and because fail- ure to raise the error in the trial court did not weigh heavily against correction of the error because the trial court would not have been able to correct it under controlling law.

The state concedes that the trial court’s acceptance of a nonunanimous verdict in this case constitutes plain error. For the reasons set forth in Ulery, we exercise our dis- cretion to correct the error in this case. Our disposition obvi- ates the need to address defendant’s remaining arguments.

Reversed and remanded.
