    642                                          State v. Travers
    PER CURIAM
    Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for
    murder, attempted aggravated murder, and misdemeanor
    unlawful possession of a firearm. On appeal, defendant
    raises six assignments of error. We reject defendant’s first
    two assignments of error without discussion, and we reject
    his supplemental assignments of error because they raise
    claims regarding jury unanimity that are foreclosed by our
    case law. See State v. Weltch, 
    297 Or App 409
    , 410, 439 P3d
    1047 (2019).
    In his third assignment of error, defendant argues
    that the trial court plainly erred in imposing fines on
    merged Counts 3, 4, and 5. The state concedes that the trial
    court erred in imposing separate fines on merged Counts
    3, 4, and 5 and that we should exercise our discretion to
    correct the error. We agree with the state, accept its con-
    cession, and exercise our discretion to correct the error. See
    State v. Cuenca-Juarez, 
    284 Or App 551
    , 552, 391 P3d 998
    (2017) (accepting state’s concession that trial court plainly
    erred by “imposing a fine on counts that merged into other
    convictions”).
    In his fourth assignment of error, defendant argues
    that the trial court plainly erred in imposing a $200 fine on
    Count 6. In view of our decision to remand on defendant’s
    third assignment of error, we do not address defendant’s
    fourth assignment of error because the trial court will have
    an opportunity to address on remand whether that is the
    fine it intended to impose on Count 6. See, e.g., State v. Jay,
    
    251 Or App 752
    , 753 n 1, 284 P3d 597 (2012), rev den, 
    353 Or 209
     (2013) (taking a similar approach).
    Reversed and remanded for resentencing; otherwise
    affirmed.
