634 State v. Jones
EGAN, J.
Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction
for two counts of felony strangulation constituting domestic
violence, ORS 163.187(4). His appointed counsel filed a brief
pursuant to ORAP 5.90 and State v. Balfour,
(1991). The brief does not contain a Section B. See
ORAP 5.90(1)(b). We affirm.1
Based on incidents in May 2022, defendant was
charged with four counts of felony strangulation constituting domestic violence, ORS 163.187(4) (Counts 1-4) and one
count of felony fourth-degree assault constituting domestic
violence, ORS 163.160(3) (Count 5). After a jury trial, defendant was found guilty of all counts. At sentencing, the trial
court merged Count 2 with Count 1 and imposed a sentence
of 16 months in prison and 24 months of post-prison supervision. The trial court merged Counts 4 and 5 with Count 3
and imposed a stipulated sentence of five years of supervised probation.
Having reviewed the record, including the trial
court’s pretrial rulings, the testimony of the witnesses, the
jury instructions, the closing arguments, and the arguments
at sentencing, and the brief, we have identified no arguably
meritorious issues.
Affirmed.
