882 July 18, 2018 No. 339 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF OREGON In the Matter of E. E. B., a Person Alleged to have Mental Illness. STATE OF OREGON, Respondent, v. E. E. B., Appellant. Multnomah County Circuit Court 16CC05288; A163138 Connie L. Isgro, Judge pro tempore. Submitted June 1, 2018. Joseph R. DeBin and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Adam Holbrook, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before Lagesen, Presiding Judge, and DeVore, Judge, and James, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed. Cite as 292 Or App 882 (2018) 883 PER CURIAM Appellant appeals a judgment committing her to the Oregon Health Authority for a period not to exceed 180 days pursuant to ORS 426.130. She argues that the trial court committed plain error when it failed to fully advise her that the possible results of the proceeding included voluntary treatment or conditional release. See ORS 426.100 (1)(c); ORS 426.130(1), (2). The state concedes that, under State v. M. M., 288 Or App 111, 405 P3d 192 (2017), and State v. M. S. R., 288 Or App 156, 403 P3d 809 (2017), the trial court committed plain error that warrants reversal. We agree with the state, accept the concession, and, for the reasons stated in those cases, exercise our discretion to correct the error.1 Reversed. Appellant also contends that the evidence was legally insufficient to prove that she was a danger to herself because of a mental disorder. Because we reverse the judgment based on the failure to fully advise appellant of her rights, we need not address that question. 1
