PER CURIAM

Appellant in this mental commitment case appeals a judgment committing him to the Mental Health Division for treatment for a period of time not to exceed 180 days.  ORS 426.130.  The trial court found that appellant suffers from a mental disorder and is dangerous to others.  The state concedes that the record lacks clear and convincing evidence that appellant suffers from a mental disorder and is a danger to others.  On de novo review, we find the state's concession to be well founded and accept it.

Reversed.
