Nonprecedential Memo Op: 338 Or App 232 (2025) 233 LAGESEN, C. J.

In this consolidated appeal, defendant challenges two judgments of contempt. His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to ORAP 5.90 and State v. Balfour, 311 Or 434, 814 P2d 1069 (1991). The brief does not contain a Section B. See ORAP 5.90(1)(b). We affirm.1 Defendant admitted to two counts of contempt of court in Case No. 23CN03102, and he admitted to one count of contempt of court in Case No. 23CN03123. In Case No. 23CN03102, the trial court imposed a sentence of 20 days in jail on Count 1 and a sentence of discharge on Count 2.

In Case No. 23CN03123, the trial court imposed a sentence of 20 days in jail. Having reviewed the record, including the trial court files in the two cases, the transcript of the hearings, and the Balfour brief, and taking into account our statutorily circumscribed authority to review, see ORS 138.105, we have identified no arguably meritorious issues.

Affirmed.

As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two-judge panel. See, e.g., State v. Yother, 310 Or App 563, 484 P3d 1098 (2021) (deciding matter submitted through Balfour process by two-judge panel); Ballinger v. Nooth, 254 Or App 402, 295 P3d 115 (2012), rev den, 353 Or 747 (2013) (same).
