PER CURIAM In this consolidated criminal appeal, defendant appeals judgments of conviction for five misdemeanors. Defendant was sentenced to bench probation on each count. On appeal, he challenges the sentencing court’s imposition on each count of the $100 bench probation fee mandated by ORS 137.540. He contends that the court erred by imposing those fees outside his presence and, further, that the error requires reversal. In State v. Baccaro , 300 Or. App. 131, 452 P.3d 1022 (2019), we resolved an identical claim of error in a manner favorable to defendant’s position. For the reasons stated there, we vacate the portions of the judgments requiring defendant to pay $100 bench probation fees and remand for resentencing.
In Case Nos. 16CR08687, 16CR18535, and 16CR44055, portions of judgments requiring defendant to pay $100 bench probation fees vacated; remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
