PER CURIAM Reversed.

Cite as 313 Or App 378 (2021) 379 PER CURIAM Defendant appeals his conviction for failure to report as a sex offender, ORS 163A.040(3)(b). He argues that the trial court plainly erred in failing to acquit him of that charge because, under our case law, a release from a correc- tional facility does not qualify as a “change of residence” for purposes of ORS 163A.040(3). The state concedes the error and agrees that we should exercise discretion to correct the error. We agree and accept the state’s concession. See State v. Lafountain, 299 Or App 311, 330, 451 P3d 246 (2019) (correctional facility is not an inmate’s “residence” for the purposes of the crime of failing to report as a sex offender); State v. Hoseclaw, 299 Or App 334, 342, 450 P3d 1005 (2019) (treating issue as plain error and exercising discretion to correct error “in light of the gravity of the error and the ends of justice”). For the reasons set forth in Hoseclaw, we exercise our discretion to correct the error.

Reversed.
