Oregon Code § 221.389·Enacted ·Last updated March 01, 2026
Statute Text
Appeal
and cross-appeal by defendant; cases involving constitutionality of charter
provision or ordinance.
(1) Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, in a proceeding
involving a violation or misdemeanor, a defendant may appeal from:
(a) A judgment
convicting the defendant of one or more charges and imposing sentence,
regardless of the type of sentence imposed.
(b) A judgment
ordering payment of restitution but not specifying the amount of restitution,
or a supplemental judgment awarding restitution.
(c) A judgment or
order imposing or executing a sentence upon revocation of probation or sentence
suspension.
(d) A judgment or
order that is an amended or corrected version of a judgment or order described
in paragraphs (a) to (c) of this subsection.
(2) A defendant
may appeal as provided in ORS 221.405 (3).
(3) In a
proceeding involving a violation, the defendant may appeal an order denying a
motion for relief from default under ORS 153.105.
(4) A defendant
may cross-appeal when the prosecution appeals an order prior to trial
suppressing evidence as provided in ORS 221.392 (2)(c). The failure to file a
cross-appeal under this subsection does not waive a defendants right to assign
error to a particular ruling of the municipal court on appeal from the judgment
of conviction and sentence.
(5) Whenever a
person is convicted in the municipal court of any city of an offense defined
and made punishable by a city charter or ordinance, that person has the same
right of appeal to the circuit court as for a conviction of an offense defined
by state law.
(6) In all cases
involving the constitutionality of the charter provision or ordinance under
which the conviction was obtained as indicated in subsection (5) of this
section, such person shall have the right of appeal to the circuit court in the
manner provided in subsection (5) of this section, regardless of any charter
provision or ordinance prohibiting appeals from the municipal court because of
the amount of the penalty or otherwise. An appeal may likewise be taken in such
cases from the judgment or final order of the circuit court to the Court of
Appeals in the same manner as other appeals are taken from the circuit court to
the Court of Appeals in other criminal cases. Where the right of appeal in such
cases depends on there being involved an issue as to the constitutionality of
the charter provision or ordinance, the decision of the appellate court shall
be upon such constitutional issue only. [2025 c.268 §43a]
