PER CURIAM.

Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for two counts of sexual abuse in the first degree, ORS 163.427, which arose from an encounter with his 11–year–old granddaughter (the victim). Defendant presents five assignments of error. We reject without discussion all but the first assignment of error, in which defendant contends that the trial court erred when it failed to disclose the victim's school and medical records to him.

Before trial, defendant subpoenaed the victim's school and medical records for in camera review by the trial court. SeeORS 135.873 (setting forth provisions related to protective orders and in camera review of records by a trial court). After performing the in camera review, the trial court declined to release the records to defendant, concluding that “no exculpatory evidence was contained within the documents.”

On appeal, defendant requests that we examine the victim's records to determine whether the trial court erred in failing to disclose discoverable materials. The state does not oppose defendant's request.

We have examined the records at issue. Based on that examination, we conclude that, in the totality of the circumstances presented by this case, to the extent that any of the information contained within the records was discoverable, failure to produce that information was harmless. See State v. Davis, 336 Or. 19, 32, 77 P.3d 1111 (2003) (error is harmless if there is “little likelihood that the particular error affected the verdict”).

Affirmed.
