PER CURIAM
Conviction affirmed; judgment vacated and case remanded to reconsider probation conditions 4a and 4b.
Defendant was found guilty of telephonic harassment. ORS 166.090. The court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on probation for five years. He appeals, ORS 138.040; State v. Carmickle, 307 Or. 1, 762 P.2d 290 (1988), contending that some of the special conditions relating to alcohol and drug use are not justified by any facts in the record and that two of the conditions are so inconsistent with each other that he is uncertain as to what conduct would constitute a violation.
Defendant filed a motion to modify the conditions in the trial court, which was denied. Accordingly, we may consider the probation conditions on appeal. State v. Mortimore, 94 Or. App. 179, 764 P.2d 960 (1988); State v. Kidd, 61 Or. App. 292, 656 P.2d 391 (1983).
The drug and alcohol use conditions are justified by the record. However, condition 4a requires that defendant abstain from the use of intoxicants and condition 4b requires that he is "not to use intoxicants in excess, providing that the use of intoxicants should not disrupt or interfere with domestic life, employment or proper community conduct." On their face, the two conditions are inconsistent.
The state argues that the condition prohibiting any use of intoxicants "apparently" relates to illegal substances, whereas the condition prohibiting excessive use of intoxicants relates to alcohol.
We cannot tell what the trial court meant to prohibit, and defendant is entitled to clarification.
Conviction affirmed; judgment vacated and case remanded to reconsider probation conditions 4a and 4b.
