Nonprecedential Memo Op: 321 Or App 210 (2022) 211 PER CURIAM Defendant appeals a judgment convicting him of fourth-degree assault constituting domestic violence, ORS 163.160(3), a Class C felony. The trial court imposed a sentence of 38 months’ imprisonment to be followed by 24 months of post-prison supervision. Defendant asserts that the sentence that the trial court imposed constitutes plain error because the combined incarceration term and post- prison supervision term exceed the statutory maximum for the offense, which carries a maximum indeterminate sen- tence of five years. ORS 161.605(3). See also OAR 213-005- 0002(4) (“The term of post-prison supervision, when added to the prison term, shall not exceed the statutory maximum indeterminate sentence for the crime of conviction.”). The state concedes that the trial court committed plain error in imposing that sentence. We agree and accept the state’s con- cession. Further, because the gravity of the error to defen- dant is significant, we exercise our discretion to correct the error.

Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
