PER CURIAM
After defendant was convicted of felony driving
under the influence of intoxicants, ORS 813.011, the trial
court sentenced him to two years’ supervised probation with
a 90-day jail term as a condition of probation, as well as
ordering defendant to pay a fine and $650 in attorney fees.

imposing the attorney fees because nothing in the record
indicates that the trial court considered his ability to pay
the fees, nor does the record indicate that he has the ability to pay them. The state acknowledges that nothing in
the record would support a conclusion that defendant “is
or may be able” to pay attorney fees. See generally State

is plain error to impose attorney fees). We accept the state’s
concession and, for the reasons stated in State v. Harris,
