Court of Appeals of Oregon July 9, 2014, 091234965, 120130446; A153468, A153469 (State v. Cross)

LAGESEN, J.

The issue on this appeal is whether the trial court was required to find “substantial and compelling reasons” under ORS 137.750 to deny defendant eligibility for alternative incarceration programs (AIPs) and early release under ORS 421.508.1 We conclude that it was not, because ORS 137.751, not ORS 137.750, governs eligibility for AIPs, and ORS 137.
