144 State v. Gilligan EGAN, J.

Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction entered after defendant pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree criminal mischief, ORS 164.354. 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 In June 2024, the state charged defendant by information with one count of second-degree criminal mis- chief, and the trial court appointed counsel for defendant at arraignment. A few weeks later, defendant pleaded guilty in exchange for dismissal of a separate contempt case for violating a restraining order obtained by a different victim.

The court convicted defendant based on his guilty plea and sentenced him to 24 months of bench probation.

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).
