PER CURIAM

In this mental commitment case, appellant contends that the record does not contain clear and convincing evidence that her mental disorder caused her to be a danger to herself or to others or unable to provide for her basic needs.  The state concedes the point.  On de novo review, we agree that the evidence is legally insufficient.

Reversed.
