316 State v. M. P.
LAGESEN, C. J.
Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing her to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority for a
period not to exceed 180 days. Appointed counsel filed a brief
pursuant to ORAP 5.90(4) and State v. Balfour,
(1991). The brief does not contain a Section B.
See ORAP 5.90(1)(b). We affirm.1
A civil commitment hearing was held on December
12, 2024, to determine whether to extend appellant’s commitment. Based on the evidence and testimony at the hearing, the trial court found that appellant suffered from a mental disorder and that, as a result, she was unable to provide
for her basic needs and presented a danger to others. See
ORS 426.005(1)(f)(A), (B). The trial court recommitted her
to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority for a period
not to exceed 180 days.
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.

As authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b), this matter is determined by a two-judge
panel.
