    PER CURIAM
   PER CURIAM

Petitioner is in prison serving a life sentence for an aggravated murder that he committed in 1992, when he was under 17 years of age. The board held a prison term hearing and, pursuant to OAR 255-032-0005(4), established a prison term for petitioner and a review date. In particular, the board’s order established a prison term of 400 months and a murder “review date” of November 27, 2025. The board’s order was mailed to petitioner on November 22, 1999, and petitioner timely sought judicial review. The board moved to dismiss the petition, arguing that the challenged order is not subject to review because it was not an order “setting an initial release date,” as ORS 144.335(3)(a) (1999), amended by Or Laws 2001, ch 661, § 1, requires. By order, we denied the motion to dismiss, citing our decision in Engweiler v. Board of Parole, 170 Or App 653, 13 P3d 1009 (2000).

On our own motion, we reconsider our order denying the motion to dismiss. For the reasons stated in Engweiler v. Board of Parole, 197 Or App 43, 103 P3d 1201 (2005), we now grant the board’s motion.

Petition for judicial review dismissed.
