652 State v. Masterman PER CURIAM Defendant was convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicants, ORS 813.010(4), in case number 19CR63626; failure to appear on a criminal citation, ORS 133.067, in case number 23CR24352; and felony fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, ORS 811.540(1)(b)(A), in case number 23CR24363. On appeal, in two assignments of error, he contends that the sentencing court erred by impos- ing two special conditions of probation not announced at sentencing—one requiring him to pay a victim impact panel fee and the other requiring him to pay a substance abuse evaluation fee.
“A criminal defendant has the right to have their sentence announced in open court. A trial court commits reversible error if it does not do so, and the result is usually a resentencing.” State v. Priester, 325 Or App 574, 581, 530 P3d 118, rev den, 371 Or 332 (2023) (internal citations omit- ted); see also State v. Dennis, 303 Or App 595, 596, 464 P3d 518 (2020) (“We have repeatedly held that a trial court errs when it imposes fines or fees in a written judgment that it did not pronounce at sentencing.”). Preservation is excused for such a claim of error, “because the defendant had no opportunity to preserve the challenge at a hearing where that sentence was never announced.” State v. Macy, 312 Or App 234, 236 n 2, 492 P3d 1277 (2021).
The state concedes that the trial court erred, and we accept that concession as well taken. As for the dispo- sition, we agree with the state that the most appropriate disposition in this instance is to remand for resentencing.
Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
