PER CURIAM Appeal dismissed. 1 PER CURIAM 2 Defendant, who was convicted of assaulting a public safety officer, seeks to 3 appeal from the trial court's denial of his motion for a corrected judgment pursuant to 4 ORS 137.754.1 As explained in State v. Sager (A143978), ___ Or App ___, ___ P3d ___ 5 (Apr 4, 2012), when a trial court denies a motion for a corrected judgment pursuant to 6 ORS 137.754, the court does not alter defendant's sentence and, instead, leaves the 7 original conviction and sentence untouched. See ORS 138.053(1).2 Accordingly, in light 8 of our holding in State v. Hart, 188 Or App 650, 653, 72 P3d 671, rev den, 336 Or 126 9 (2003), the trial court's denial of a motion pursuant to ORS 137.754 is not appealable. Appeal dismissed. 10 1 The document entered by the trial court is entitled "Judgment of Conviction and Sentence." Despite the title, however, in the document, the court simply denied defendant's motion for a corrected judgment. 2 ORS 138.053(1) provides: "A judgment, or order of a court, if the order is imposed after judgment, is subject to the appeal provisions and limitations on review under ORS 138.040 and 138.050 if the disposition includes any of the following: "(a) Imposition of a sentence on conviction. "(b) Suspension of imposition or execution of any part of a sentence. "(c) Extension of a period of probation. "(d) Imposition or modification of a condition of probation or of sentence suspension. "(e) Imposition or execution of a sentence upon revocation of probation or sentence suspension." 1
