PER CURIAM

After his convictions for attempted murder and attempted robbery in Umatilla County, defendant was convicted and sentenced in Morrow County for attempted murder. He appeals from that judgment. His sentence included a mandatory minimum for the use of a gun, to be served consecutively to the Umatilla County sentences. Although the Umatilla County sentences, including a mandatory gun minimum, had been imposed, they had not been served. See State v. Birchard (A62159/60), 105 Or. App. 402, 804 P.2d 1225 (1991).

The state asserts that the error was not prejudicial, but it concedes that the trial court erred in imposing the gun minimum sentence in Morrow County, because the Umatilla County sentence had not been served. State v. Wells, 82 Or. App. 283, 728 P.2d 533 (1986); State v. Haywood, 73 Or. App. 6, 697 P.2d 977
(1985). We agree that it was error.

Although the error was not preserved, it is apparent on the face of the record, ORAP 5.45(2), and we conclude that it was egregious and potentially prejudicial. We remand for resentencing. State v. Brown, 310 Or. 347, 800 P.2d 259 (1990).

We have considered defendant’s other assignments of error. They are without merit.

Conviction affirmed; remanded for resentencing.
