246 State v. Thorne
LAGESEN, C. J.
Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction entered
after guilty pleas. Defendant pleaded guilty to sexual abuse
in the first degree, ORS 163.427; three counts of sodomy in
the second degree, ORS 163.395; unlawful sexual penetration in the second degree, ORS 163.408; and three counts
of using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, ORS
163.670. The parties jointly recommended a sentence of 300
months in prison, credit for time served, no eligibility for
early release, and 45 months of post-prison supervision. The
trial court imposed that sentence. We affirm.1
Defendant’s 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). Having reviewed the record, including
the trial court file and the transcript of the hearings, and
having reviewed the Balfour brief, and taking into account
our statutorily circumscribed authority to review, see ORS
138.105, we have identified no arguably meritorious issues.
Affirmed.
