        PER CURIAM
         Plaintiff appeals a judgment dismissing, with prejudice, a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Plaintiff raises three assignments of error, two of which,
citing ORS 1.615, challenge the qualifications of the judge
pro tem who presided over plaintiff’s proceedings. We note,
however, that ORS 1.635 authorizes the Supreme Court to
appoint any attorney in good standing to serve as a judge
pro tem, so long as the attorney is a resident of this state
and has been a member of the Oregon State Bar for at least
three years. Here, plaintiff has given us no reason to believe
that the judge pro tem who heard his case was appointed
under the statute he cites, rather than under ORS 1.635.
Furthermore, having reviewed appellant’s various additional challenges to the judgment, we are unpersuaded that
the trial court erred. Accordingly, we affirm without further
discussion.
        Affirmed.
