PER CURIAM Affirmed.

638 State v. Walker PER CURIAM Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for sod- omy in the first degree, arguing that the trial court erred in declining to order a presentence report as required by ORS 144.791(2) (mandating that a trial court “shall” order a pre- sentence report in felony sex abuse cases absent an excep- tion). The state responds that defendant’s sentence quali- fied for a statutory exception to that requirement because the offense for which defendant was convicted entails “a mandatory minimum prison sentence and no departure is sought by the court, district attorney or defendant.” ORS 144.791(2)(b). In the trial court, defendant did challenge the sentencing scheme as unconstitutional, but he did not seek a departure based on any fact specific to his crime or back- ground. Because defendant did not seek a departure based on circumstances specific to him or his crime, the trial court was not obligated to order a presentence report under ORS 144.791(2)(b).

Defendant further argues that, although the ver- dict was unanimous, the trial court committed structural error in instructing the jury that it could return nonunani- mous verdicts. That argument is foreclosed by State v. Flores Ramos, 367 Or 292, 294, 478 P3d 515 (2020).

Affirmed.
