PER CURIAM.

Defendant appeals his convictions for criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, ORS 161.450, solicitation to commit aggravated murder, ORS 161.435, and attempted murder. ORS 161.405; ORS 163.115.

Defendant first argues that his demurrer should have been allowed, because the indictment does not adequately identify his co-conspirators. The indictment was sufficient.

The court imposed consecutive sentences on the convictions on the conspiracy and solicitation counts. The state concedes that the consecutive sentences are unlawful, *663 because those convictions merge under ORS 161.485. We agree.

Defendant also argues that the court erred in purporting to impose conditions of confinement and post-prison supervision. The state agrees that the court can only recommend conditions. State v. Potter, 108 Or. App. 480, 816 P.2d 661 (1991). We accept that concession.

Convictions affirmed; remanded for resentencing.
