840                                            State v. Griffin

        PER CURIAM
         Defendant, who was convicted of fourth-degree
assault, ORS 163.160, argues on appeal, among other things,
that the trial court plainly erred in imposing a “Chapter
163 Assessment” of $500. The state concedes the error and
concedes that the assessment should be reversed. We agree,
accept the concession, and exercise our discretion to correct
the error, for the reasons set forth in State v. Rowling, 

, 

 (2013) (correcting similar error). We
reject defendant’s remaining arguments without discussion.
       Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay
“Chapter 163 Assessment” reversed; otherwise affirmed.
