Lincoln County Circuit Court

Thomas O. Branford, Judge. Garrett A. Richardson, and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Anna M. Joyce, Solicitor General, and Rebecca M. Auten, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before Ortega, Presiding Judge, and DeVore, Judge, and Garrett, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed.

PER CURIAM

Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing her for a period not to exceed 180 days pursuant to ORS 426.130. Appellant argues that, contrary to the trial court's ruling, the record does not establish by clear and convincing evidence that she is a danger to herself and unable to provide for her basic needs because of a mental disorder. See ORS 426.005(1)(e)(A), (B). The state concedes that the evidence is legally insufficient for involuntary commitment under either basis and that the judgment should be reversed. We agree, accept the state's concession, and reverse.

Our disposition obviates the need to address appellant's other assignment of error.

Reversed.
