456 Rogers v. Board of Parole

EGAN, J.

Petitioner seeks judicial review of a final order of

the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (board)

that set petitioner’s sex offender notification level at Level 2.

We reverse and remand the board’s final order.1

The board concedes that it erred in assessing peti-

tioner’s risk of reoffending without considering his offense-

free time in the community. We agree with and accept the

concession. Under our decisions in Thomsen v. Board of

Parole, 333 Or App 703, 554 P3d 308, rev den, 373 Or 81

(2024), and Allen v. Board of Parole, 334 Or App 447, 557

P3d 178, rev den, 373 Or 121 (2024), the board was required

to assess petitioner’s risk of reoffense as of the time of the

assessment. The appropriate remedy is to reverse and

remand to the board for further proceedings. Thomsen, 333

Or App at 717.

Reversed and remanded.
