At any sentencing proceeding in the circuit court, both parties shall be bound by any sentencing agreement that the parties entered into in the justice court.

On appeal by a defendant under ORS 55.250 (1)(b), the circuit court shall sentence the defendant anew.

On appeal by a defendant under ORS 55.250 (1)(d):

The circuit court shall proceed in the same manner as in an appeal from the original judgment or order.

Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, if the appeal of the amended or corrected judgment or order is filed after expiration of the time period during which the original judgment or order could have been appealed, the circuit court may review only the amended or corrected part of the judgment or order and any part of the judgment or order affected by the amendment or correction.

On appeal by a defendant under ORS 55.250 (2) or by the prosecution under ORS 55.255 (2), the circuit court shall determine whether to grant relief in accordance with ORS 153.105 in the same manner as if the motion for relief had been originally filed in circuit court.

The circuit court may hear evidence or admit exhibits necessary to make the determination on the matter.
