Nonprecedential Memo Op: 338 Or App 254 (2025) 255 EGAN, J.

Petitioner seeks judicial review of a final order of the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (board) that set his sex offender notification level at Level 3. We reverse and remand the board’s final order.1 The board concedes that it erred in assessing peti- tioner’s risk of reoffending without considering his offense- free time in the community. We agree with and accept the concession. Under our decisions in Thomsen v. Board of Parole, 333 Or App 703, 554 P3d 308, rev den, 373 Or 81 (2024), and Allen v. Board of Parole, 334 Or App 447, 557 P3d 178, rev den, 373 Or 121 (2024), the board was required to assess petitioner’s present risk of reoffending. The appro- priate remedy is to reverse and remand to the board for fur- ther proceedings. Thomsen, 333 Or App at 717.

Reversed and remanded.

As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two-judge panel.
