PER CURIAM

Defendant appeals a judgment convicting him of two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, ORS 163.427, and one count of coercion, ORS 163.275. On appeal, defendant assigns error to the trial court’s exclusion of two witnesses’ testimony. We reject those assignments of error without discussion. In addition, defendant asserts two unpreserved assignments of error related to his sentences. We remand for resentencing but otherwise affirm his convictions.

In his first unpreserved assignment, defendant argues that the trial court erred under Blakely v. Washington, 542 US 296, 124 S Ct 2531, 159 L Ed 2d 403 (2004), in imposing consecutive sentences. He asks us to review his claim as plain error. We previously held that the imposition of consecutive sentences does not constitute error apparent on the face of the record. State v. Fuerte-Coria, 196 Or App 170, 100 P3d 773 (2004), rev den, 338 Or 16 (2005). Therefore, we will not consider this assignment of error.

In the second unpreserved assignment, defendant challenges the imposition of a departure sentence. Because defendant’s case was tried to a jury, it is controlled by State v. Ramirez, 205 Or App 113, 133 P3d 343 (2006), and not State v. Gornick, 340 Or 160, 130 P3d 780 (2006). Accordingly, we vacate defendant’s sentences and remand for resentencing.[1]

Sentences vacated; remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
