Before Lagesen, Chief Judge, and Egan, Judge.
LAGESEN, C. J.
Defendant appeals an amended judgment of contempt. Her 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).
After violating a restraining order by contacting the protected party on two separate occasions, defendant admitted to four counts of contempt and entered a deferred sentencing program. About nine months later, the trial court revoked defendant's deferred sentence because she failed to attend a required program. The trial court entered a judgment finding defendant in contempt on four counts of violating the restraining order. The trial court later entered an amended judgment merging the findings of contempt on two of the four counts and sentencing defendant to 18 months of bench probation.
Having reviewed the record, including the trial court file, the transcript of the hearings, and the Balfour brief, we have identified no arguably meritorious issues.
Affirmed.
