Nonprecedential Memo Op: 338 Or App 226 (2025) 227 LAGESEN, C. J.
In this consolidated appeal, defendant pleaded guilty to third-degree escape in Case No. 23CR45276, and he admitted to the charge of contempt of court in Case No. 23CN04327. On appeal, his only challenge is to part of his sentence in Case No. 23CR45276. We remand for resentenc- ing in that case and otherwise affirm.1 The judgment in Case No. 23CR45276 provides that defendant may be considered for any form of alternative sanc- tion and defendant shall pay any required per diem fees, but that requirement to pay per diem fees was not announced in open court at sentencing. The state concedes the error.
We agree with and accept the state’s concession. See State v. Priester, 325 Or App 574, 581, 530 P3d 118, rev den, 371 Or 332 (2023) (“A criminal defendant has the right to have their sentence announced in open court.”). The appropriate remedy is a remand for resentencing. See State v. Barr, 331 Or App 242, 244-46, 545 P3d 772, rev den, 372 Or 720 (2024) (remanding for resentencing when requirement to pay per diem fees was included in the judgment but not announced in open court at sentencing).
Remanded for resentencing in Case No. 23CR45276; otherwise affirmed.
As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two-judge panel.
