LANDAU, P.J.

Petition for reconsideration allowed; opinion adhered to as modified; sentence vacated and remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.


Defendant petitions for reconsideration of our decision affirming his conviction and sentence for criminally negligent homicide. State v. McCormick, 184 Or. App. 455, 56 P.3d 482 (2002). Among other things, he challenges our decision not to review the imposition of a sentence of five years' imprisonment with three years of post-prison supervision, which he contends violates ORS 161.605 and was plain error that is reviewable notwithstanding his failure to raise the issue at trial.

The state responds that, in State v. Layton, 163 Or. App. 37, 41, 986 P.2d 1221 (1999), rev den, 330 Or. 252 (2000), we rejected the very same argument and held that an asserted violation of ORS 161.605 is not plain error. Defendant replies that, in Layton v. Hall, 181 Or. App. 581, 589-90, 47 P.3d 898 (2002), however, we held that the imposition of a term of post-prison supervision in addition to a five-year term of imprisonment violates ORS 161.605, which establishes a five-year maximum indeterminate sentence for the relevant offense. The state acknowledges that, under that more recent decision, the sentence in this case is erroneous, but it insists that the error is not reviewable because it was not plain at the time it was committed. The state further acknowledges that our recent decision in State v. Jury, 185 Or. App. 132, 57 P.3d 970 (2002) — decided after we issued our opinion in this case — is to the contrary, but suggests that Jury was wrongly decided.

We decline to reconsider Jury. Under the rule of that decision, the sentence in this case amounts to plain error.

Defendant also contends that we erred in rejecting his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence. We reject that contention without discussion.

Petition for reconsideration allowed; opinion adhered to as modified; sentence vacated and remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
