STATEMENT OF THE CASE


The state accepts defendant’s statement of the case but supplements the

facts in the argument below.

Summary of Argument
Defendant was convicted of second-degree criminal trespass after he

went to the hospital for treatment in the emergency room but then wandered

into other areas of the hospital where he was not authorized to be, then refused

to leave and physically resisted efforts to escort him out.

On appeal, he contends that the trial court erred by denying his requests

to argue and present evidence challenging a 2011 exclusion order that only

allowed him to enter the hospital for emergency medical treatment. According

to defendant the trial court should have allowed him to challenge that order as

issued in violation of disability discrimination laws, and hence not a “lawful

order” for purposes of the criminal trespass statute. But defendant’s arguments

provide no basis for reversal.

Defendant’s first argument—that he should have been allowed to argue

to the jury that the 2011 order was unlawful because the process for challenging

it was inadequate—is unpreserved. Defendant’s second argument—that the

trial court erroneously excluded evidence supporting his argument that the

exclusion order was issued in violation of disability discrimination laws—fails


2

because defendant failed to make a sufficient offer of proof. In any event, any

error was harmless because regardless of whether the 2011 exclusion order was

lawful, on the charged occasion defendant refused to leave the hospital’s private

property—where he had no right to remain—after being lawfully directed to

leave.

Finally, defendant has submitted a pro se supplemental brief that fails to

assign error to any trial court ruling or other otherwise present any coherent

argument that the trial court erred. It therefore provides this court with no basis

for reversal.

ANSWER TO FIRST THROUGH FIFTH ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR


Defendant’s arguments that the trial court erred by preventing him from

presenting evidence and argument challenging the lawfulness of a 2011

exclusion order provide this court with no basis for reversal.

Combined Preservation of Error


As explained below, defendant’s arguments are either unpreserved or fail

for wont of a sufficient offer of proof.

COMBINED ARGUMENT
On appeal from his second-degree criminal trespass conviction,

defendant contends the trial court erred by precluding him from presenting

evidence and argument challenging a 2011 exclusion order as unlawful because

it was issued in violation of disability discrimination laws. But defendant, who


3

represented himself at trial, did not preserve his first argument and did not

present a sufficient offer of proof for his second argument. In any event, any

error was harmless.

A. Background
In 2011, Legacy Emanuel Hospital issued defendant an exclusion order

that prohibited him “from coming onto the property or premises of any Legacy

Health System property at any time except in order to receive emergency

medical care.” (Tr 449-50; ER 2). To enter the property for other reasons,

defendant would first need to obtain permission from “an officer of the Security

Department.” (Tr 449-50; ER 2).

On the charged occasion in 2015, defendant went to the Legacy Emanuel

emergency department to receive emergency care. (Tr 575). Later that night,

Legacy security officer David Davies—who was aware the exclusion order that

limited defendant to the emergency department—learned that defendant had

been discharged. (Tr 471-72). When Davies arrived at the emergency

department, he saw defendant leave the bathroom and walk further into the

hospital rather than take the nearest exit. (Tr 472, 475). Davies followed

defendant and when he caught up to him, he introduced himself and told

defendant that he had to leave because the exclusion order did not allow him to

stay in the hospital after his ER visit. (Tr 478-80). Defendant replied, “Nope. I

am not stopping.” (Tr 480). As he tried to move further into the hospital,
4

Davies stepped in front of him and directed him back toward the emergency

room exit. (Tr 480). At that late hour, the main hospital was closed and only

open to patients, visitors of patients, and people who had direct business in the

hospital. (Tr 479). Nevertheless, defendant again refused to leave and insisted

that he was “going to go sit in the lobby.” (Tr 480). When Davies again told

him he had to leave, defendant responded, “Nope. I’m not.” (Tr 480). As they

walked back toward the lobby, defendant started yelling, “I’m refusing to

leave,” and “I’m going to go sit down and I’m going to stay.” (Tr 480).

At that point, defendant became “very, very, very loud” and started to

swing his arms around as Davies and another security officer repeatedly told

him that he needed to leave. (Tr 480-81). Defendant charged and flailed his

arms as he tried to get past the officers, and declared “that he was going to the

lobby and he was going to sit and [that the security officers] could not tell him

to leave.” (Tr 481). As he kept trying to force his way through, he came into

chest-to-chest contact with the other officer, which prompted Davies to grab his

arm to pull him away. (Tr 483). In response, defendant became increasingly

violent and the officers took him to the ground. (Tr 483). They cuffed him and

informed him that he they were placing him under arrest for criminal trespass.

(Tr 483). When the officers tried to escort defendant out of the hospital, he

went limp and refused to stand up. (Tr 483-84). He lay down on the floor in a

hallway, making it difficult for people going into the emergency department to
5

get by him. (Tr 483-84). Eventually, a Portland police officer arrived and took

defendant to jail. (Tr 514-19).

The state charged defendant with second-degree criminal trespass based

on defendant unlawfully entering or remaining at the hospital. (ER 1). At trial,

defendant sought to argue to the jury that the 2011 order was unlawful because

it was issued in violation of disability discrimination laws. (Tr 293, 328). The

trial court denied his request to do so. (Tr 352). The trial court also denied

defendant’s efforts cross-examine a witness and to present evidence that he

asserted would establish that the 2011 exclusion order was unlawful. (Tr 454-

57; 599-619). The jury convicted defendant. (Tr 752).

B. Defendant’s arguments are insufficiently preserved for this court


review.
Under ORS 164.245(1) “[a] person commits the crime of criminal

trespass in the second degree if the person enters or remains unlawfully in a

motor vehicle or in or upon premises.” As relevant here, “enter or remain

unlawfully” means:

(b) To fail to leave premises that are open to the public after being
lawfully directed to do so by the person in charge;

(c) To enter premises that are open to the public after being
lawfully directed not to enter the premises;

ORS 164.205(3).
6

On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court erred in two respects,

both pertaining to his challenge to the lawfulness of the hospital’s 2011

exclusion order limiting defendant’s access to the hospital to emergency

medical care. Neither argument, however, was properly preserved.

1. Defendant’s first argument—that he should have been allowed


to argue to the jury that the 2011 order was unlawful because
the process for challenging it was inadequate—is unpreserved.
Defendant first contends that the trial court abused its discretion by

denying defendant’s requests to challenge the lawfulness of the 2011 exclusion

order. On that point, defendant’s argument is narrow. He contends that the trial

court erroneously ruled that defendant needed to challenge the 2011 order in

civil proceeding and that he could not collaterally challenge it in the criminal

proceeding. (App Br 13-14). In his view, the court erred because the exclusion

order “did not provide a sufficient procedural mechanism to challenge it” in a

civil proceeding. (App Br 14). In particular, he argues that the exclusion order

on its face failed “to provide any procedural mechanism to appeal the exclusion

order.” (App Br 14). Accordingly, he reasons that he “should not have been

barred from collaterally challenging [the exclusion] and any trespass order

based on it.” (App Br 14). The problem with that narrow argument, however,

is that defendant never raised it below.

To preserve an argument for appeal, a party must explain it to the trial

court in a manner “specific enough to ensure that the trial court [could] identify
7

its alleged error with enough clarity to permit it to consider and correct the error

immediately, if correction [was] warranted.” State v. Wyatt, 331 Or 335, 343,

15 P3d 22 (2000). Here, while defendant broadly argued to the trial court that

he should be allowed to challenge the lawfulness of the exclusion order by

arguing to the jury that it was issued in violation of disability discrimination

laws, he never alerted the trial court to the specific reason he advances on

appeal: that he should be allowed to do so because the mechanism for

challenging the order was procedurally deficient.

By failing to raise that issue below, defendant has denied the state the

opportunity to develop a record on any process defendant could have utilized to

challenge the exclusion order—a process that he argues for the first time on

appeal was insufficient based solely on the fact that the face of the order did not

specify any process. Because defendant failed to provide the either the state or

the trial court to address his argument this court should not consider it. See

State v. Walker, 350 Or 540, 552, 258 P3d 637 (2011) (explaining that the focus

of the preservation inquiry is on “whether a party has given opponents and the

trial court enough information to be able to understand the contention and to

fairly respond to it”).


8

2. Defendant’s second argument—that the trial court erroneously


excluded evidence supporting his argument that the exclusion
and trespass orders were unlawful—fails because defendant
failed to make a sufficient offer of proof.
Defendant also contends that the trial court erred by excluding evidence

that would have supported his argument that the 2011 exclusion order was

unlawful because it—and the 2015 order to leave that relied on it—were based

on a discriminatory purpose in violation of disability discrimination laws. (App

Br 14). Specifically, he contends that the trial court “erred in barring evidence

about the 2011 incident and defendant’s medical records supporting and

explaining his status as a person with a disability.” (App Br 15-16). Defendant

made no offer of proof with respect to the 2011 incident, however.

“In a case in which a court has excluded evidence, the error is preserved

if ‘the substance of the evidence was made known to the court by offer or was

apparent from the context within which the questions were asked.’” State v.

Hazlett, 269 Or App 483, 492, 345 P3d 482 (2015) (quoting OEC 103(1)(b)).

The purpose of that requirement is to ensure that “appellate courts are able to

determine whether a trial court erred in excluding evidence and whether that

error was likely to have affected the trial’s result[.]” State v. Morgan, 251 Or

App 99, 104, 284 P3d 496 (2012). The offer of proof “can be made either by

question or answer or through counsel’s statement of what the proposed

evidence is expected to be.” Hazlett, 269 Or App at 492.


9

Here, defendant first challenges the trial court’s refusal to allow him to

elicit testimony before the jury about the 2011 incident. Defendant first

attempted to elicit testimony about the circumstances of the 2011 exclusion

order in his cross-examination of Legacy security official Christopher Dotson,

who issued the order. (Tr 454). After the trial court sustained the prosecutor’s

objection to defendant’s question about whether defendant had been drinking

coffee at a café in the hospital at the time, defendant made no offer of testimony

through question and answer and made only brief remarks about what he hoped

to expose with his cross-examination. Specifically, he asserted that Dotson had

falsely accused him of smelling of alcohol and of being “filthy.” (Tr 457-58).

The only other evidence defendant offered with respect to his claim that

the exclusion order was the product of disability discrimination was his 2015

medical records. (Tr 601-19). As defendant describes them, those records

“reinforced defendant’s testimony about his diagnosis with Central Pain

Syndrome, which was relevant to whether he was an individual with a

disability.” (App Br 15).

Neither defendant’s characterization of what he hoped to expose on

cross-examination of Dotson nor the medical records constituted sufficient

offers of proof. Even assuming the trial court erred by not allowing defendant

to present evidence challenging the 2011 as issued for a discriminatory purpose

in violation of disability discrimination laws, defendant’s remark that he was


10

falsely accused of being drunk and dirty when he was excluded in 2011did

nothing to support a theory that he was discriminated against because he suffers

from Central Pain Syndrome. In the same way, his 2015 medical records

indicating that he suffered from that condition did nothing to suggest that the

2011 exclusion order was issued for the purpose of discriminating against him

as a person with that condition. Put differently, defendant failed to submit any

evidence by way of an offer of proof that would tend to show that the 2011

exclusion order was issued in violation of disability discrimination laws and

therefore unlawful.

In the absence of an offer of proof in the form of evidence relevant to

show that the 2011 order was issued for the improper purpose of discriminating

against defendant because he suffered from central pain syndrome, this court

cannot determine whether any error the trial court made in excluding evidence

“was likely to affect the trial’s result.” Morgan, 251 Or App at 104. For that

reason, defendant’s argument with respect to the trial court’s exclusion of

evidence provides this court with no basis for reversal.

C. Any error was harmless.


Error is harmless if there is “little likelihood that error affected the jury’s

verdict.” State v. Davis, 336 Or 19, 32, 77 P3d 1111 (2003). Here, any error in

preventing defendant from challenging the lawfulness of the 2011 exclusion

order was harmless because, even assuming the 2011 order was unlawful,
11

defendant had no right to remain in the hospital in 2015, and thus was lawfully

ordered to leave.

As described above, defendant was arrested for criminal trespass after he

left the hospital’s emergency department and wandered into other areas of the

hospital where he was not authorized to be. In fact, those areas of the hospital

were not open to the general public at that time of night. (Tr 479).

Nevertheless, when Davies told defendant to leave, he refused and physically

resisted efforts to escort him out. Accordingly, defendant was not charged with

criminal trespass simply because he violated the 2011 order, but also because he

remained in the hospital after he was directed to leave. The record shows that

Davies, as a security officer for the hospital, was “a person in charge” for

purposes of ORS 164.205(3)(b)—who then exercised that authority when

defendant refused to leave. As Officer Davies testified, defendant refused to

leave the hospital after being ordered to do so and instead declared, “I’m

refusing to leave.” Defendant then physically resisted efforts to escort him out.

When “the authority of the person in charge to expel an individual is not

limited by a constitutional or statutory right of the individual to remain, the

order must be obeyed at the risk of a conviction for trespass.” State v. Marbett,

32 Or App 67, 73, 573 P2d 736 (1978). Such an order is “lawful” when it is “is

authorized by, and not contrary to, substantive law.” State v. Ausmus, 336 Or

493, 504, 85 P3d 864 (2003). In this case, the testimony established that
12

defendant failed to leave the hospital after being directed to do so by a person in

charge. The lawfulness of Davies’s orders to leave after defendant refused to

leave does not turn on whether or not the 2011 exclusion order was lawful.

Defendant was on the hospital’s private property and defendant has not cited

any authority for the proposition that he had right to remain there. Defendant

offers no argument that Davies’s authority was “limited by a constitutional or

statutory right” that he had to remain in areas of the hospital he was not

authorized to be in. To the contrary, defendant concedes that his “sole defense

to the charge” was that “the exclusion order was unlawful because it violated

public-accommodation laws.” (App Br 18).

Because defendant remained on the hospital’s property—a place where

he had no constitutional or statutory right to remain—after being lawfully

directed to leave, he was guilty of violating ORS 164.245(1), regardless of

whether the 2011 exclusion order was lawful. Indeed, in the state’s closing

argument the prosecutor did not argue that the jury should convict because

defendant violated the 2011 exclusion order. (Tr 708-716). Rather, he focused

on defendant’s belligerent refusals to comply with Davies’s orders to leave.

The prosecutor only mentioned the 2011 exclusion order as evidence of

defendant’s knowledge that he was in place where he had no right to be. (See

Tr 713, noting that defendant “knew he was excluded”).


13

This case thus differs from two cases defendant cites, State v. Koenig,

238 Or App 297, 242 P3d 649 (2010), and State v. Riddell, 172 Or App 675, 21

P3d 128 (2001), both of which involved the exclusion of defendants from

publicly owned spaces that were open to the public, where the defendants

otherwise had a right to be. In Koenig, the defendant was cited for violating an

order excluding him from the Washington County Public Services Building.

238 Or App at 304. Because the exclusion notice restricted the defendant’s

access to petition the government but did not provide adequate process to

contest the notice, the notice was unlawful. Id. at 311. Similarly, in Riddell,

defendant was cited for violating an order excluding him from another public

space, Portland’s Pioneer Square. 172 Or App at 678. Moreover, in both cases,

again contrast to this case, the defendants were cited for entering the premises

in violation of prior exclusion orders, and not also for remaining on the

premises after being directed to leave. Koenig, 238 Or App at 305; Riddell, 172

Or App at 678.

For those reasons, any error the trial court made in preventing defendant

from challenging the lawfulness of the 2011 order had little likelihood of

affecting the jury’s verdict.

ANSWER TO PRO SE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF


Petitioner has filed a 15-page pro se supplemental brief that fails to

assign error to any ruling of the post-conviction court, develop any legal
14

argument, or demonstrate that any of claims are preserved. Instead it consists

of a series of assertions that he, as a person with disability, was treated unfairly

in the proceedings below. Defendant’s failure to develop any coherent legal

argument that the trial court erred in any particular respect provides this court

with no basis for reversal. See ORAP 5.45(4)(c) (“[t]he court may decline to

consider any assignment of error that requires the court to search the record to

find the error”); Beall Transport Equipment Co. v. Southern Pacific, 186 Or

App 696, 701 n 2, 64 P3d 1193, adhered to as clarified, 187 Or App 472 (2003)

(this court will not speculate as to what a party’s unamplified argument might

be); OTECC v. Co-Gen, 168 Or App 466, 488, 7 P3d 594 (2000), rev den, 332

Or 137 (2001) (we “decline to go in search of a substantive argument” where

party “sets forth no meaningful analysis”).

CONCLUSION
This court should affirm the trial court’s judgment.

APPELLANT’S OPENING BRIEF

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Nature of the Proceeding

In this criminal appeal, defendant seeks reversal of his conviction for

trespass in the second degree, ORS 164.245, based on the trial courts limitations

of his arguments challenging the lawfulness of the trespass order and its

exclusion of his evidence relevant to that argument. The state charged

defendant by information with that offense. Information, ER 1-2.

Nature of the Judgment

A jury found defendant guilty. The trial court sentenced defendant to

two days in jail. Judgment, ER-3.

Jurisdiction

This court has jurisdiction pursuant to ORS 138.040.

Notice of Appeal

Defendant timely filed a notice of appeal on February 6, 2017, from the

judgment entered in Multnomah County Circuit Court on January 6, 2017.


2

Questions Presented

1. When a defendant is charged with criminal trespass, which requires the

state to prove that an order to leave was lawful, is the defendant entitled to

argue to the jury that the trespass order is unlawful because it violated Oregon

and federal statute?

2. When a defendant is charged with criminal trespass, is evidence tending

to show that the trespass order was unlawful relevant?

Summary of Argument

In 2011, Legacy Emmanuel Hospital issued an exclusion order that

prohibited defendant from entering hospital premises except to receive

emergency medical care. In 2015, an ambulance took defendant to the Legacy

Emmanuel emergency room for emergency treatment. Upon being discharged,

defendant used the bathroom and then began walking down a hospital corridor,

away from the nearest hospital exit. A hospital security guard ordered

defendant to leave through a particular door, and defendant did not comply.

At trial, defendant sought to argue that the 2011 exclusion order and the

2015 trespass order based on it were unlawful because they violated public-

accommodation and disability laws. The trial court barred defendant from

arguing the lawfulness of the order to the jury and excluded as irrelevant
3

testimonial and documentary evidence that defendant sought to introduce in

support of that argument. The trial court erred in both respects.

A trial court abuses its discretion when it prevents a defendant from

arguing that the state failed to prove an essential element a charge. An essential

element of second-degree trespass is that the order for defendant to leave must

be lawful. This court has held that a trial court errs in barring a defendant from

collaterally challenging the lawfulness of an exclusion order underlying a

trespass charge.

Likewise in this case, it was error for the court to prohibit defendant from

arguing to the jury that the order was unlawful. It was also error to exclude

evidence that tended to show that the exclusion and trespass orders violated

Oregon and federal statute. Those errors harmed defendant, so his case must be

reversed and remanded.

Summary of Facts

State’s evidence

In 2011, Legacy Emmanuel Hospital issued an exclusion order against

defendant that contained an exception for emergency medical treatment:

“You are prohibited from coming onto the property or


premises of any Legacy Health System property at any time except
in order to receive emergency medical care. Permission to enter
the premises of Legacy Health System for any other reason must
be obtained by an officer of the security department. Entry upon
4

the premises may result in your arrest for criminal trespass in the
second degree.”

Tr 449-50; Ex 1, ER-4.

On November 22, 2015, defendant perceived that he was suffering from a

medical emergency and called 9-1-1. Tr 558. Paramedics responded to

defendant’s home, where defendant demanded that he be transported to the

hospital “or he would die.” Tr 564. He became verbally aggressive and said

that he had Central Pain Syndrome. Tr 564. Defendant tried to get into the

ambulance without permission. Tr 565. Eventually, the paramedics transported

defendant to Legacy Emmanuel Hospital. Tr 558, 569. On the way, they

restrained him and sedated him with two drugs. Tr 569-70. They delivered

defendant to the emergency room at 8:45 p.m. Tr 575.

Around midnight, David Davies, a security officer at the hospital,

received a call that defendant was subject to an exclusion order and that he had

just been discharged from the emergency room. Tr 470-71, 484. Davies went

to the emergency room, where hospital staff told him that defendant was in the

bathroom. Tr 472. Davies saw defendant leave the bathroom, turn away from

the nearest hospital exit, and walk further into the hospital. Tr 472. There are

other hospital exits in the direction that defendant walked. Tr 473, 476. Davies

followed defendant. Tr 479. He told defendant that he had to leave because of

the exclusion order. Tr 479. Defendant replied, “Nope, I am not stopping,” and
5

he continued walking. Tr 480. Davies got in front of defendant, who then

turned around and began walking back towards the emergency room. Tr 480.

Defendant sat down in the emergency room lobby and said that he refused to

leave. Tr 480. He yelled and waved his arms. Tr 480. Davies handcuffed him

and tried to escort him out, but defendant went limp. Tr 483-84.

Portland Police Office Jena Lemke responded to the hospital, where she

found defendant in custody in the internal corridor between the emergency

room and the children’s hospital. Tr 514. She walked defendant to her patrol

car and took him to jail. Tr 515. She did not notice any health issues with

defendant. Tr 518-19.

Defense evidence

Defendant is diagnosed with a neurological condition called Central Pain

Syndrome. Tr 635. That condition causes serious problems when he has an

elevated heart rate. Tr 635. He goes to Legacy Emmanuel for treatment

because that hospital specializes in neuroscience. Tr 636.

Two days before his arrest, defendant went to the emergency room at

Legacy Emmanuel because he had an elevated heart rate. Tr 634, 636. He

received treatment from the attending physician. Tr 638. Once his heart rate

declined, he was discharged. Tr 641. He was told to return if his condition

worsened. Tr 641.
6

On November 22, defendant called 9-1-1 because his condition

worsened. Tr 641, 648. After being sedated, he passed out and awoke in a

treatment room. Tr 649. He received discharge paperwork. Tr 649. He left

the room, used the bathroom near the waiting room, and then walked towards

the hospital exit that was nearest to the bus stops. Tr 652. It was cold out and

he was wearing shorts. Tr 653. As he was walking towards the exit, someone

approached him from behind and gave him a trespass warning. Tr 654.

Security guards tried to usher him out through a fire exit, but defendant wanted

to take a different exit. Tr 657. When they arrested him, he sat down and

waited for the police. Tr 658. The police escorted him from the hospital. Tr

659.

FIRST ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR

The trial court erred in precluding defendant from arguing that the

trespass and exclusion orders1 were unlawful.

SECOND ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR

The trial court erred in precluding defendant from cross-examining the

state’s witnesses about the 2011 incident that led to the exclusion order.

1
Defendant refers to the 2011 order barring defendant from the
hospital except for emergency medical treatment as the “exclusion order.” He
refers to the order to leave issued on the date of arrest as the “trespass order.”
7

THIRD ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR

The trial court erred in excluding evidence about the circumstances

surrounding the issuance of the exclusion order.

FOURTH ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR

The trial court erred in excluding Exhibit 105, defendant’s medical

records from November 20, 2015.

FIFTH ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR

The trial court erred in excluding Exhibit 106, defendant’s medical

records from November 22, 2015.

Combined Preservation of Error2

At several points before and during trial, defendant3 asserted that he was

not guilty because the exclusion order was unlawful based on his status as a

person with a disability. See, e.g., Tr 124-25, 246-55, 292-93, 317-22. For

example, defendant discussed that defense with the court at a pretrial hearing on

September 6, 2016:

2
Defendant combines the preservation of error, standard of review,
and argument for his first through third assignments of error, because they
present essentially the same legal issue. ORAP 5.45 (6).
3
Defendant represented himself at trial with the assistance of
advisory counsel. Unless otherwise noted, defendant personally raised the
issues identified in this section.
8

“THE COURT: And so you want to argue that it’s not a


lawful order because you’re disabled and you have a right to use
and enjoy the hospital?

“[THE DEFENDANT]: In essence, that’s kind of where


I’m just saying that to challenge the lawfulness of the order, you
have to determine if the actions were lawful or unlawful and if they
violated the provisions that we’re talking about them –

“THE COURT: Okay.

“[THE DEFENDANT]: – [ORS] 659A.142 and those kinds


of things and the [Americans with Disabilities Act].

“THE COURT: Okay.”

Tr 293.

At trial, defendant argued that “[t]he jury should be able to determine

whether the order to leave was lawful.” Tr 328. The trial court ruled that

defendant would not be allowed to argue about the lawfulness of the exclusion

order:

“[THE COURT:] The Court’s not going to allow this to be a trial


about whether [the 2011] exclusion was lawful or not. That is a
matter that is outside the parameters of this criminal charge. Just
like * * * if a conviction is entered that conviction, whether it’s by
trial or by plea, is a conviction. And * * * the facts that were
presented to the trier of fact that resulted in a conviction cannot be
retried in a subsequent case.

“* * * * *

“So if there was a – an Order of No Trespass, then that is an


order by which you would be required to abide. If you believe that
that was unlawful in violation of the ADA or other reasons, then
that would be a matter that should have been brought or could have
been brought * * * in a civil arena.”
9

Tr 352-53. Consistent with that ruling, the court also “disallow[ed] any

introduction of any evidence of other times [defendant had] been at Emanuel

Hospital prior to November 20[, 2015,]” including the incident that gave rise to

the exclusion order. Tr 375.

In his cross-examination of Christopher Dotson, who issued the exclusion

order against defendant in 2011, defendant asked him about the circumstances

that gave rise to the exclusion order. Tr 454. The state objected, and the trial

court again ruled that defendant could not discuss the factual basis for the order:

“THE COURT: * * * It is improper to go into. The lawful


order stands that excluded you. And so whether you believed it
was lawful or not or * * * believe that this witness was not basing
the reason for exclusion on a lawful basis is not germane to the
issue that’s being tried today. The * * * exclusion stands and you
were to abide by that exclusion except for emergency medical
treatment. So * * * that’s the end of this line of questioning.”

Tr 457.

After the state rested, defendant sought to admit his medical records:

“THE COURT: You’re going to try to introduce them


through your testimony? Is that –

“[THE DEFENDANT]: Right.

“THE COURT: – what you’re going to try to do?

“[THE DEFENDANT]: Right. And what they are, Your


Honor, is they’re medical records. And I have the – this from my
neurologist of many years, which actually has a diagram. And this
is already been introduced [in other cases]. These pictures have
been introduced and I’ll just –
10

“THE COURT: All right. * * * * *

“Yeah. One question, [advisory counsel]. Have you


discussed rules of evidence with respect to foundation and so forth
with your client?

“[ADVISORY COUNSEL]: Yes, we have.

“[THE DEFENDANT]: Yes.”

Tr 599-600. Defendant further explained that those records included the

records of his visits to Legacy Emmanuel on November 20 and 22, 2015,

marked as Exhibits 105 and 106. Tr 601-03. Defendant argued that those

exhibits were relevant to his argument that the trespass order was unlawful. Tr

604-19.

The court reiterated its earlier ruling that defendant could not challenge

the lawfulness of the exclusion order, and it further held that defendant would

not be allowed to introduce evidence to support his arguments that the order

was unlawful:

“THE COURT: All right. So I’ve listened to you


extensively, [defendant], and I’ve listened to [the prosecutor]. And
I’ve read the Marbet case. And I agree with [the prosecutor] that
you have conflated a civil remedy for your proposal that you have
a disability, which has not been established yet through the
evidence, and that * * * that disability was not accommodated.

“There is a civil remedy for that. That does not translate


into an affirmative defense to the charge of trespass in the second
degree. So I’m not going to allow that testimony or introduction of
exhibits for the purpose of your attempting to establish that your *
11

* * constitutional rights were violated and that you were not being
accommodated under 690. * * *

“Now you can challenge the authority of the person in


charge to have arrested you. That’s an issue that the jury will have
to determine. But the argument that you were not being
accommodated is outside the scope of this charge of Criminal
Trespass in the second degree. So I’m not going to allow it. * * *

“* * * * *

“* * * So you will not be permitted to argue that as a


defense or as a violation that we’ve created an unlawful order.”

Tr 624-25, 629.

Combined Standard of Review

This court “review[s] a trial court’s decisions regarding control of jury

argument for an abuse of discretion.” Cler v. Providence Health Sys. Oregon,

349 Or 481, 487, 245 P3d 642 (2010). It reviews the court’s exercise of control

over the examination of witnesses for abuse of discretion. J. D. v. S. K., 282 Or

App 243, 244, 385 P3d 1161 (2016), rev den, 361 Or 439 (2017). Relevance

determinations are reviewed for errors of law. State v. Gray, 286 Or App 799,

808, 401 P3d 1241 (2017).


12

Combined Argument

I. The trial court abused its discretion in barring defendant from


arguing that the exclusion and trespass orders were unlawful.

“Absent abuse, the control of closing arguments is left to the trial court

judge, who has broad authority to control the conduct of the trial.” State v.

Goodin, 8 Or App 15, 23-24, 492 P2d 287 (1971). For example, a “trial court

did not abuse its discretion when it prevented a defendant, in closing argument

to the jury, from rehashing an immaterial, pretrial argument about venue, based

on the convenience of witnesses.” State v. Fletcher, 263 Or App 630, 634, 330

P3d 659, 661 (2014) (citing State v. Hooper, 256 Or App 237, 240, 300 P3d

235, rev den, 354 Or 61 (2013)).

However, a trial court abuses its discretion when it “limit[s] defendant’s

closing argument to prevent him from arguing that the state had failed to prove

a material allegation of the charge.” Fletcher, 263 Or App at 634. For

example, the trial court in Fletcher ruled that “defendant could not contend, in

closing argument, that the state must prove, but had not, that defendant intended

or knew that he used a dangerous weapon.” Id. at 631. On appeal, this court

determined that the defendant’s proposed argument was based on a correct

understanding of the law, and consequently, the trial court had abused its

discretion in withholding that argument from the jury. Id. at 634.


13

Here, like in Fletcher, the argument that defendant sought to make

reflected a correct understanding of the law on a material point. “A person

commits the crime of criminal trespass in the second degree if the person enters

or remains unlawfully in a motor vehicle or in or upon premises.” ORS

164.245. “Enter or remain unlawfully” means, as relevant here, “[t]o fail to

leave premises that are open to the public after being lawfully directed to do so

by the person in charge[.]” ORS 164.205(3)(b) (emphasis added). Thus, the

state must prove as an element of the offense that the direction for the defendant

to leave the premises was lawful. State v. Koenig, 238 Or App 297, 308, 242

P3d 649 (2010), rev den, 349 Or 601 (2011).

A trespass order may be unlawful is if it is “limited by a constitutional or

statutory right of the individual to remain[.]” State v. Marbet, 32 Or App 67,

73, 573 P2d 736 (1978). For example, in Koenig, this court reversed the denial

of defendant’s motion for judgment of acquittal on a trespass charge based on

its holding that the trespass order ran afoul of the defendant’s constitutional

right to procedural due process. 238 Or App at 310.

The trial court here ruled that defendant needed to challenge the 2011

exclusion order in a civil proceeding and that he could not challenge it in this

criminal proceeding. But this court has held such a ruling to be legal error. In

State v. Riddell, this court held that the trial court erred in barring a defendant

from collaterally challenging the lawfulness of the underlying exclusion order.


14

172 Or App 675, 687, 21 P3d 128 (2001). It reasoned that, even though there

was an administrative process to appeal the exclusion order that the defendant

did not take advantage of, that process was “not as ‘formal and comprehensive’

as a criminal proceeding, nor does it provide the ‘same quality of proceedings

and the opportunity to litigate’ as does a criminal proceeding.” Id. at 686-87

(quoting State v. Ratliff, 304 Or 254, 259-60, 744 P2d 2470 (1987)). Thus, the

“defendant was entitled in this criminal trespass prosecution to challenge the

constitutionality of the underlying exclusion order.” Id. at 687.

Likewise here, the trial court erred by barring defendant from collaterally

challenging the lawfulness of the exclusion or trespass orders. The exclusion

order here, like the one in Riddell, did not provide a sufficient procedural

mechanism to challenge it. Ex 1, ER-4 (failing to provide any procedural

mechanism to appeal the exclusion order). Thus, defendant should not have

been barred from collaterally challenging it and any trespass order based on it.

The trial court’s contrary holding prohibited defendant from contesting an

essential element of the charge. The court further erred in excluding evidence

to support that defense.


15

II. The trial court erred in excluding relevant evidence that supported
defendant’s arguments that the exclusion and trespass orders were
unlawful.

Evidence is relevant if it has “any tendency to make the existence of any

fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or

less probable than it would be without the evidence.” OEC 401. All relevant

evidence is generally admissible. OEC 402.

As discussed above, the lawfulness of a trespass order is a material

element of trespass in the second degree. One way to show that a trespass order

was unlawful is to show that the exclusion order that authorized it was

unlawful. Thus, the lawfulness of both orders was a material issue, and

evidence that tends to show that either was unlawful is relevant.

Defendant sought to show that the orders were based on a discriminatory

purpose and that they were unlawful. To do that, he needed to present evidence

about the circumstances surrounding the 2011 incident, which would tend to

show the reasons for the exclusion order. Thus, that evidence was relevant to

whether the order was lawful.

Defendant’s medical records were also relevant to his argument. Those

records reinforced defendant’s testimony about his diagnosis with Central Pain

Syndrome, which was relevant to whether he was an individual with a

disability. See 42 USC § 12102 (“The term ‘disability’ means * * * a physical


16

or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life

activities of such individual[.]”). Defendant contended that the exclusion order

was unlawful because it violated public-accommodation and disability laws.

Specifically, defendant cited ORS 659A.142 and the Americans with

Disabilities Act (ADA). Tr 293. Those provisions suggest that a trespass order

may be unlawful if it has the effect of discriminating against a person with a

disability. See, e.g., 42 USC § 12182 (“[D]iscrimination includes * * * a failure

to make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures, when

such modifications are necessary to afford such goods, services, facilities,

privileges, advantages, or accommodations to individuals with disabilities”

unless certain showings are made.); ORS 659A.142 (“It is an unlawful practice

for any place of public accommodation * * * to make any distinction,

discrimination or restriction because a customer or patron is an individual with

a disability.”).

Thus, evidence about whether defendant had a disability and whether the

hospital excluded him on an impermissible basis was relevant. See Marbet, 32

Or App at 73 (“If the manager [of a restaurant] had authority to direct the patron

to leave the restaurant[,] the exercise of the authority is limited by the

proscription forbidding discrimination against handicapped persons. That the

discrimination statute may have been violated by the order to leave is a proper

inquiry in a criminal trespass trial.”). The trial court erred in barring evidence
17

about the 2011 incident and defendant’s medical records supporting and

explaining his status as a person with a disability.

III. The errors harmed defendant.


When a trial court completely precludes closing arguments, “[t]he trial

itself [i]s affected * * * because the court denied one of its required elements.”

State v. Lovins, 177 Or App 534, 538, 33 P3d 1060 (2001). In such cases, this

court will reverse without undertaking a harmless-error analysis. State v.

Barajas, 247 Or App 247, 253, 268 P3d 732 (2011).

Although Lovins and Batajas involved complete preclusion of closing

argument, that principle applies with equal force here. The only element that

defendant sought to challenge was the lawfulness of the order. Tr 613

(defendant stating that he was not challenging the authority of the person who

gave the order and was only challenging “the lawfulness of the order to leave”).

Thus, for practical purposes, the prohibition on argument about that element

was tantamount to a total preclusion of his closing argument. That error

requires reversal.

Alternatively, even under a standard harmless-error analysis, this court

should reverse. This court “must affirm a judgment, despite any error

committed at trial, if, after considering all the matters submitted, the court is of

the opinion that the judgment ‘was such as should have been rendered in the

case.’” State v. Davis, 336 Or 19, 28, 77 P3d 1111 (2003) (quoting Or Const
18

Art VII (Amended), § 3). Ordinarily, whether the court must affirm despite

error depends upon “a single inquiry: Is there little likelihood that the particular

error affected the verdict?” Davis, 336 Or at 32.

Here, defendant contended that the exclusion order was unlawful because

it violated public-accommodation and disability laws. That provided a

colorable basis for the jury to find that the exclusion order was unlawful.4

Marbet, 32 Or App at 73 (“That the discrimination statute may have been

violated by the order to leave is a proper inquiry in a criminal trespass trial.”).

The erroneous limitations on the presentation of evidence and

examination of witnesses about the lawfulness of the order compound the harm.

Without the errors, defendant would have been able to present evidence

regarding whether the orders were unlawful, and he would have been able to

cite that evidence in his arguments to the jury. That was defendant’s sole

defense to the charge, and the court’s errors completely deprived defendant of

that defense. There is more than “little likelihood” that the errors affected the

verdict. Consequently, the errors were not harmless.

4
Although defendant’s argument involved a legal issue, it was
ultimately “for the jury to decide the factual predicates underlying the elements
of a crime.” State v. White, 211 Or App 210, 217, 154 P3d 124, as clarified on
recons, 213 Or App 584, rev den, 343 Or 224 (2007) (holding that it was for the
jury to decide whether facts established that order was lawful).
19

CONCLUSION

For those reasons, defendant respectfully asks this court to reverse the

judgment of the trial court and remand his case.
