    PER CURIAM
   PER CURIAM

Defendant appeals a judgment convicting him of unlawful use of a weapon, ORS 166.220, and menacing, ORS 163.190, raising three assignments of error. We reject without discussion defendant’s two assignments of error raised in his supplemental brief and write only to address the single assignment of error raised in his opening brief. In that assignment, defendant asserts that the trial court plainly erred in imposing a $500 unitary assessment on the menacing conviction because the statute that provided for that assessment was repealed effective January 1, 2012, before defendant committed the crimes in this case. See former ORS 137.290(2)(b) (2009), repealed by Or Laws 2011, ch 597, § 118; Or Laws 2012, ch 89, § 1; see also ORAP 5.45; Ailes v. Portland Meadows, Inc., 312 Or 376, 382, 823 P2d 956 (1991) (court has discretion to review unpreserved error of law apparent on the face of the record). The state agrees that the trial court committed plain error when it imposed the assessment because “no current statutory provision that applies to [defendant’s] menacing conviction authorizes imposition of such an assessment.” We agree and accept the state’s concession. Furthermore, in light of the interests of the parties and the ends of justice in this case, we conclude that it is appropriate to exercise our discretion to correct the error in this case. See Ailes, 312 Or at 382 n 6; see also State v. Quade, 252 Or App 577, 578, 287 P3d 1278 (2012) (exercising discretion to correct plain error in imposing unitary assessment based on “the interests of the parties and the ends of justice”). Accordingly, the case must be remanded for the trial court to enter a judgment omitting the $500 unitary assessment.

Remanded for entry of a judgment omitting the $500 unitary assessment on the menacing conviction; otherwise affirmed.
