Before Armstrong, Presiding Judge, and Tookey, Judge, and Shorr, Judge.
PER CURIAMAppellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing him for a period not to exceed 180 days. ORS 426.130. Appellant contends, among other things, that the state failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that, because of a mental disorder, he is unable to provide for his basic needs, ORS 426.005(1)(f)(B). The state concedes that the evidence is legally insufficient to support appellant's involuntary commitment on that basis and that the judgment should be reversed. We agree, accept the state's concession, and reverse the judgment of commitment.
Reversed.
