FILED: April 17, 2013 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF OREGON STATE OF OREGON, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. WILLIAM J. K. AKIM, Defendant-Appellant. Polk County Circuit Court 12P3084 A152682 Norman R. Hill, Judge. Submitted on March 01, 2013. Jason E. Thompson and Ferder Casebeer French & Thompson, LLP, filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Anna M. Joyce, Solicitor General, and Patrick M. Ebbett, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before Ortega, Presiding Judge, and Sercombe, Judge, and Hadlock, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed and remanded for entry of a corrected judgment deleting the $500 assessments on each conviction; otherwise affirmed. 1 PER CURIAM 2 Defendant was convicted of fourth-degree assault, ORS 163.160, and 3 harassment, ORS 166.065. On appeal, he asserts that the trial court erred in imposing 4 two $500 unitary assessments on those convictions because the statute that provided for 5 those assessments was repealed effective January 1, 2012. See former ORS 6 137.290(2)(b) (2009), repealed by Or Laws 2011, ch 597, § 118; Or Laws 2012, ch 89, § 7 1. The state agrees that the trial court erred in imposing the assessments because "no 8 current statutory provision that applies to [defendant's] fourth-degree assault and 9 harassment convictions authorizes imposition of such an assessment." We agree and 10 accept the state's concession. Accordingly, the case must be remanded for the trial court 11 to enter a corrected judgment. 12 13 Reversed and remanded for entry of a corrected judgment deleting the $500 assessments on each conviction; otherwise affirmed. 1
