PER CURIAM Affirmed.

234 State v. Soto PER CURIAM Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for third-degree sexual abuse, acknowledging that we have pre- viously held that lack of consent in third-degree sexual abuse was a circumstance element that required only a mental state of criminal negligence. State v. Wier, 260 Or App 341, 353, 317 P3d 330 (2013). But, defendant argues, under the Oregon Supreme Court’s recent decision in State v. Haltom, 366 Or 791, 824, 472 P3d 246 (2020), that interpretation of the statute is no longer viable. We adhere to our decision in Weir, but we note that the issue is currently before the Oregon Supreme Court in State v. Carlisle (S067880), and resolution of that case will likely affect this one.

Affirmed.
