696 State v. Ward (A186818) LAGESEN, C. J.

Defendant appeals a judgment extending his proba- tion for 24 months. 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 pleaded guilty to violating a no-contact order and was placed on probation for 36 months. As a con- dition of probation, defendant was prohibited from having contact W. Defendant admitted to violating that condition.

Based on that admission, the trial court “revoked and rein- stated” defendant’s probation and extended the term of pro- bation for 24 additional months.

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.
