Nonprecedential Memo Op: 343 Or App 114 (2025) 115 LAGESEN, C. J.

Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction entered after defendant pleaded no contest to one count of stran- gulation, ORS 163.187. Appointed counsel filed a brief pur- suant 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 In September 2022, the state charged defendant by information with one count of strangulation, and the trial court appointed counsel for her at arraignment. Thereafter, in February 2024, defendant pleaded no contest to the strangulation charge in exchange for dismissal of two other criminal cases against her. The court accepted defendant’s plea as knowingly, willingly, and voluntarily made with the advice of counsel and sentenced defendant to two years of bench probation with 40 hours of community service. The court then entered the judgment convicting and sentencing defendant.

Having reviewed the record, including the trial court file, 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. 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).
