PER CURIAM
Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for
driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII), ORS
813.010(4), challenging, in his combined first three assignments of error, the court’s termination of diversion and entry
of judgment pursuant to his guilty plea. Those assignments
of error, however, are not reviewable under ORS 138.105(5);
defendant’s arguments to the contrary are foreclosed by our
recent decisions in State v. Merrill,
(2021).
In his fourth assignment of error, defendant contends that the trial court erred by imposing a $255 DUII
conviction fee in the judgment that was not announced in his
presence at sentencing. As in Merrill, “[t]hat claim of error
does not challenge defendant’s conviction and is reviewable
under ORS 138.105(7), which allows review of sentencing
decisions for compliance with the law.”

.
The state concedes the error, and we accept that concession. See
id. at 496-97
(vacating $490 “state obligation” and
remanding for resentencing where court erred in imposing
it outside the defendant’s presence).
Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay
$255 DUII conviction fee vacated; remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
