46 State v. Robertson

LAGESEN, C. J.

In this consolidated appeal, defendant appeals five judgments of conviction for various offenses. We remand for entry of amended judgments and otherwise affirm. In his only assignment of error, defendant contends that, in each of the judgments, the trial court "erred in order- ing that it could impose additional assessments without fur- ther notice to defendant and without further court order."

Specifically, defendant contends that the trial court erred by including a provision in the judgments providing that "[t]he court may increase the total amount owed by adding collection fees and other assessments" and stating that those "fees and assessments may be added without further notice to the defen- dant and without further court order." Defendant acknowl- edges that the portion of the judgments that that authorize

"collection fees" is permitted by ORS 1.202, but asserts that statute provides no authority for "other assessments."

In response, the state concedes the error. We agree with and accept the state's concession. State v. Martinez, 347 Or App 273, 279, 587 P3d 428 (2026) (trial court lacked stat- utory authority to impose "other assessments" for the first time in the judgment).

Further, the state asserts that Martinez requires this court to remand for entry of an amended judgment and other- wise affirm. We agree with the state that remand for entry of an amended judgment is the appropriate remedy in this case. Id. at 280 (concluding that when "the only error was the inclusion of terms in the judgment that the trial court had no authority to impose, the appropriate remedy is to remand with instructions to delete the erroneous terms from the judg- ment" (brackets and internal quotation marks omitted)). We therefore reverse the portion of the judgments related to adding assessments to the total amount owed by defendant and remand to the trial court for entry of amended judgments deleting the words "and other assessments" and

"and assessments."

Reversed and remanded for entry of amended judg- ments; otherwise affirmed.
