No. 55 January 26, 2022 277 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF OREGON In the Matter of A. W. R., a Person Alleged to have Mental Illness. STATE OF OREGON, Respondent, v. A. W. R., Appellant. Marion County Circuit Court 21CC00835; A175569 Daniel J. Wren, Judge. Submitted December 28, 2021. Margaret Huntington filed the brief for appellant. Also on the brief was O’Connor Weber LLC. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Patricia G. Rincon, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before James, Presiding Judge, and Lagesen, Chief Judge, and Kamins, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed. 278 State v. A. W. R. PER CURIAM Defendant appeals a judgment committing him to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days based on a determination that he was a danger to others, and a related order prohibiting him from purchasing or possessing firearms. ORS 426.005(1)(f)(A). Appellant contends, among other things, that the record does not contain clear and convincing evidence to support the court’s conclusion that he is a danger to others. The state concedes that the record is legally insufficient in that regard and that the judgment of commitment should be reversed. We agree, accept the state’s concession, and reverse the judgment of commitment and the firearms order. See State v. R. C. S., 291 Or App 489, 490, 415 P3d 1164 (2018) (reversing both the order of commitment and the order prohibiting the appellant from purchasing or possessing firearms). Reversed.
