PER CURIAM

285 Or.App. 882

Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for one count of first-degree sodomy, ORS 163.405, three counts of second-degree sodomy, ORS 163.395, and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse, ORS 163.427, raising two assignments of error.

Pendergrapht , 251 Or.App. 630, 633, 284 P.3d 573 (2012) (a court lacks authority to require a defendant to pay costs unless it has determined that the defendant is or may be able to pay them); see also State v.

Although the asserted error in unpreserved, defendant urges us to review and correct it as plain error. See ORAP 5.45(1).

We agree with defendant that the record does not show that the state met its burden of...
