EGAN, J.

Mother appeals a judgment entered following a review hearing regarding her child. Appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to ORAP 5.90 and State v. Balfour, 311 Or 434, 814 P2d 1069 (1991). The brief does not contain a Section B. See ORAP 5.90(1)(b). We affirm.

The trial court held a hearing and ordered that the child‘s permanency plan of APPLA (another planned permanent living arrangement) remain in place. The trial court made the findings required by ORS 419B.449(3)(d) and (e) that child was progressing adequately towards graduation from high school, that the resource parents were following the reasonable and prudent parent standard, and that the child has regular, ongoing opportunities to engage in age-appropriate activities. Those findings were supported by the testimony and exhibits.

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.

Notes

Determined by a two-judge department as authorized by ORS 2.570(2)(b).
