PER CURIAM
Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for
unauthorized use of a vehicle (UUV), ORS 164.135, and possession of a stolen vehicle, ORS 819.300. She argues that
the trial court erred in denying her motion for judgment of
acquittal on the UUV count. We reject that argument without discussion. Defendant also argues that the trial court
plainly erred in imposing $600 in attorney fees because the
record does not support a conclusion that she is or may be
able to pay them. The state concedes that this constitutes
plain error. We agree, accept the state’s concession, and, in
light of the circumstances and gravity of the error, exercise
our discretion to correct it. See generally State v. Harris,
