Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Doug M. Petrina, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before Sercombe, Presiding Judge, and Tookey, Judge, and DeHoog, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed. Cite as 279 Or App 172 (2016) 173 PER CURIAM Appellant in this mental commitment case appeals an order committing her to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days. ORS 426.130. On appeal, appellant contends that the trial court erred in concluding that, as a result of a mental disorder, she is a danger to herself. See ORS 426.005(1)(f). The state concedes that the record does not contain legally sufficient evidence to support the involuntary commitment and that the trial court’s judgment should be reversed. We agree and accept the state’s concession.1 Reversed. 1 Our resolution of that issue obviates the need to address appellant’s second assignment of error.
