Nonprecedential Memo Op: 345 Or App 266 (2025) 267 EGAN, J.

In this consolidated case, defendant appeals judgments revoking probation in two cases. In Case No. 20CR37532, the court revoked probation and imposed a sen- tence of 18 months’ imprisonment. In Case No. 20CR07491, the court revoked probation and imposed a sentence of 90 days in jail. 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, see ORAP 5.90(1)(b), in which defendant argues that he is “[h]ere on false charges”; that his plea agreements provided for bench probation rather than formal probation; that having made a payment of res- titution shows that he did not fail to report; and that he is falsely imprisoned. None of defendant’s arguments presents a basis for relief on direct appeal. We affirm.1 Having reviewed the record, including the trial court files, the transcript of the hearings, and the Balfour brief, and taking into account our statutorily circumscribed authority to review, we have identified no arguably meritori- ous issues in either case. See ORS 138.105; State v. Neill, 324 Or App 608, 609, 526 P3d 1221, rev den, 371 Or 477 (2023) (“because defendant stipulated to the probation revocation sentence, ORS 138.105(9) precludes our review”).

Affirmed.

As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two-judge panel.
