PER CURIAM

Defendant's 10-year minimum to be served on murder conviction is deleted. In all other respects, convictions and sentences for murder and kidnapping are affirmed.


In this criminal case, the state concedes that the trial court erred in imposing a 10-year minimum sentence on defendant's murder conviction. State v. Macy, 295 Or. 738, 671 P.2d 92 (1983). The 10-year minimum to be served on defendant's murder conviction is deleted. See Or Const, Art VII (Amended), § 3; State v. Smith, 65 Or. App. 344, 671 P.2d 1206 (1983). In all other respects, defendant's convictions and sentences for murder and kidnapping are affirmed.

Defendant's other assignments of error are not well taken.

Affirmed as modified.
