PER CURIAM

¶1Defendant was convicted of third-degree robbery, ORS 164.395, and being a felon in possession of a firearm, ORS 166.270. On appeal, he asserts that the trial court erred in several respects in sentencing him. We need reach only one of defendant’s assignments of error because, as the state concedes, defendant is entitled to resentencing based on that error.

¶2The trial court determined defendant’s criminal history score in part based on a prior juvenile adjudication. In State v. Harris, 339 Or 157, 172, 118 P3d 236 (2005), the Oregon Supreme Court explained that, in this context, a prior Oregon juvenile adjudication is a “fact that increases a criminal sentence beyond its statutory maximum and must be proved to a jury,” citing Blakely v. Washington, 542 US 296, 124 S Ct 2531, 159 L Ed 2d 403 (2004), and Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 US 466, 120 S Ct 2348, 147 L Ed 2d 435 (2000). The trial court erred in rejecting defendant’s Apprendi-based arguments concerning the use of juvenile adjudications.

¶3Sentences vacated; remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
