154 State v. Okeefe LAGESEN, C. J.
Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction for harassment. The judgment contained a special condi- tion of probation that defendant “[n]ot own, possess, or have access to weapons, firearms, or any dangerous animals.”
Defendant argues that the trial court erred in imposing the dangerous-animals condition because the trial court orally pronounced that defendant would be prohibited from pos- sessing “any dangerous weapons, including firearms,” but did not mention dangerous animals. The state correctly concedes that the trial court’s oral pronouncement was not sufficient to announce the condition in defendant’s pres- ence, and that we should remand for resentencing. State v. Priester, 325 Or App 574, 581, 530 P3d 118, rev den, 371 Or 332 (2023) (“A criminal defendant has a right to have their sentence announced in open court. A trial court errs if it does not do so, and the result is usually a resentencing.”) (Internal citations omitted.)).
Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.1
As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two- judge panel.
