246 State v. Seibold LAGESEN, C. J.
Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction entered after a bench trial. Appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to ORAP 5.90 and State v. Balfour, 311 Or 434, 814 P2d 1069 (1991). The brief contains a Section B, and defendant filed a pro se reply brief. See ORAP 5.90(1)(b). We affirm.1 The trial court found defendant guilty of failure to perform the duties of a driver when property is damaged, ORS 811.700, based on evidence that defendant was involved in a collision on the freeway, and that, after the drivers had pulled their vehicles to the shoulder, defendant drove away without having provided the other driver with the required information. See ORS 811.700(1)(b) (requiring driver to pro- vide name, address, vehicle registration number, and insur- ance information in these circumstances). The trial court sentenced defendant to 12 months’ bench probation, his drivers license was suspended for 90 days, attorney fees of $214, and a traffic fine of $360 were also imposed; after a contested restitution hearing, no restitution was ordered.
In Section B of defendant’s brief, defendant chal- lenges the sufficiency of the evidence arguing, essentially, that the trial court should have believed his version of what happened, and that what he did was sufficient to satisfy his statutory duties. He also argues that the state’s witnesses lied and that recordings of a trooper’s phone calls to defen- dant were not produced by the state.
Having reviewed the record, including the trial court file, the transcript of the hearings and the bench trial, and the Balfour brief, we have identified no arguably meri- torious issues.
Affirmed.
As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two-judge panel. See, e.g., State v. Daily, 335 Or App 198, 557 P3d 1153 (2024) (deciding matter submitted through Balfour process by two-judge panel); State v. Goin, 334 Or App 497, 556 P3d 663 (2024) (same).
