FILED: November 6, 2002
Appeal from Circuit Court, Lane County. Darryl L. Larson, Judge.
On appellant's and respondent's joint motion for reversal and remand filed August 29, 2002.
David E. Groom, Acting Executive Director, Office of Public Defense Service, and Rebecca Duncan, Deputy Public Defender, and Hardy Myers, Attorney General, Mary H. Williams, Solicitor General, and Erika L. Hadlock, Assistant Attorney General, for motion.
Before BREWER, Presiding Judge, and WOLLHEIM and KISTLER, Judges.
PER CURIAM
Reversed and remanded for new trial.
Defendant and the state have jointly moved for an order reversing the judgment convicting defendant of disorderly conduct and remanding the case for a new trial. We grant the motion.
Defendant waived his right to be represented by counsel during the course of trial. A jury found defendant guilty of the charged offense and a judgment of conviction was entered on August 11, 2000. The state concedes that the trial court accepted defendant's waiver of his right to counsel and allowed defendant to represent himself for part of the trial without properly advising him of the risks of self-representation. See State v. Meyrick, 313 Or. 125, 133, 831 P.2d 666 (1992) (explaining the need for a trial court to ensure that the defendant "understand[s] the risks of self-representation"); see also State v. Gross , 175 Or. App. 476, 477, 28 P.3d 1243 (2001). We accept that concession.
Reversed and remanded for new trial.
