Before Lagesen, Presiding Judge, and Egan, Chief Judge, and Powers, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed. 176 State v. R. C. PER CURIAM The trial court committed appellant to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days and entered an order prohibiting appellant from purchasing or possessing firearms after determining that she was a danger to others. ORS 426.005(1)(f)(A). Appellant contends that the record does not contain clear and convincing evidence to support the trial court’s conclusion that she is a danger to others.

We agree, accept the state’s concession, and reverse the commitment judgment and the order prohibiting the purchase or possession of firearms. Reversed.
