PER CURIAM
Reversed and remanded for new trial.
Defendant appeals his conviction for driving while suspended. ORS 811.175. The case was tried to a jury; however, the court granted the state's motion for a directed verdict of guilty. Defendant claims that was error. The state concedes error, and we agree.
Reversed and remanded for new trial.
