Submitted on record and brief May 17,
    affirmed June 12, 1996
    In the Matter of the Paternity of John Russell Etzwiler II, a Minor Child. John ETZWILER, Appellant, v. Rosemarie GRIFFIN, Respondent.
    
    (94-4438-F-3; CA A89863)
    91S P2d 447
    Raymond R. Smith filed the brief for appellant.
    No appearance by respondent.
    Before Warren, Presiding Judge, and Edmonds and Armstrong, Judges.
    PER CURIAM
   PER CURIAM

Father appeals from a judgment entered pursuant to the provisions of ORS 107.095(1), which is applicable to actions between unmarried parents under ORS 109.103. The judgment awarded mother custody of child and ordered father to pay support. On de novo review, we affirm. ORS 109.135(1); ORS 19.125(3).

The trial court entered the Stipulated Decree of Paternity, Order on Custody Visitation and Support Determination on August 2, 1995. Father timely filed a notice of appeal from that judgment on August 31, 1995. We agree with the trial court that, on the record before it at the time the August order was entered, the award of custody to mother was correct.

We do not decide, because the issue is not before us, whether a substantial change of circumstances has occurred since August 2, 1995. See Nickerson and Nickerson, 296 Or 516, 523, 678 P2d 730 (1984).

Affirmed.
