No. 276 June 6, 2018 333 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF OREGON In the Matter of Y. B., a Person Alleged to have Mental Illness. STATE OF OREGON, Respondent, v. Y. B., Appellant. Multnomah County Circuit Court 17CC05654; A166111 Benjamin S. Johnston, Judge pro tempore. Submitted April 6, 2018. Alexander C. Cambier and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Jona J. Maukonen, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before Hadlock, Presiding Judge, and DeHoog, Judge, and Aoyagi, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed. 334 State v. Y. B. PER CURIAM Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing him to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days. See ORS 426.130. In his sole assignment of error, appellant contends that the trial court plainly erred when it failed to advise him of the possible results of the commitment hearing as required by ORS 426.100(1). Specifically, he asserts that the trial court plainly erred when it failed to inform him of the possibility of voluntary treatment and conditional release. In response, 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’s failure to advise appellant of all of the possible results of the proceeding, as required by ORS 426.100(1), is plain error. We agree that the error is plain, and—for the reasons set forth in M. M. and M. S. R.—exercise our discretion to correct the error. Reversed.
