Before Lagesen, Chief Judge, and Egan, Judge.
LAGESEN, C. J.
Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing him to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority for a period not to exceed 180 days and prohibiting him from purchasing or possessing firearms. His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to ORAP 5.90 and State v. Balfour, 311 Or. 434, 814 P.2d 1069 (1991). The brief does not contain a Section B. See ORAP 5.90(1)(b). We affirm.
As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two-judge panel. See, e.g., State v. Yother, 310 Or.App. 563, 484 P.3d 1098 (2021) (deciding matter submitted through Balfour process by two-judge panel); Ballinger v. Nooth, 254 Or.App. 402, 295 P.3d 115 (2012), rev den, 353 Or. 747 (2013) (same).
The trial court entered that judgment after finding that appellant suffered from a mental disorder and was dangerous to others. See ORS 426.005(lXf)(A). Having reviewed the record, including the trial court file, the transcript of the civil commitment hearing, and the Balfour brief, we have identified no arguably meritorious issues.
Affirmed.
