STATE OF OREGON, Respondent, v. LARRY LYDELL BELL, SR., Appellant.

PER CURIAM

Sentences vacated and remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.

PER CURIAM

Defendant was indicted for three counts of arson in the first degree based on his intentionally igniting a fire in a motel room. Count one alleged that he damaged the motel, a dwelling; count two alleged that he damaged a dwelling and its contents, recklessly placing a dwelling, the motel, in danger; and count three alleged that he damaged a dwelling and contents, recklessly placing persons, the employees and occupants of the motel, in danger. All charges were based on ORS 164.325(1)(b). On count one, the jury found him not guilty of arson but guilty of reckless endangerment; it convicted him of counts two and three. The trial court merged counts one and two and sentenced him separately on count three. On appeal defendant argues that it should have merged all three counts. The state concedes that he is correct, and we agree. State v. Barrett , 331 Or. 27, 10 P.3d 901 (2000); State v. Beason , 170 Or. App. 414, 12 P.3d 560 (2000), rev den 331 Or. 692 (2001).

Defendant also raises issues under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). He did not present those issues to the trial court, and we decline to consider them. Finally, he asserts that the jury's verdicts were inconsistent. However, he did not object before the trial court dismissed the jury, and he has therefore waived those arguments for appeal. See ORCP 59 G(4); ORS 136.330; Building Structures, Inc. v. Young , 328 Or. 100, 110, 968 P.2d 1287 (1998).

Sentences vacated and remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
