Court of Appeals of Oregon.

Submitted January 4, 2019.
August 7, 2019

Alexander C. Cambier and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant.

Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Colm Moore, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.

Before Ortega, Presiding Judge, and Egan, Chief Judge, and Powers, Judge.

PER CURIAM

Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing him to the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days. ORS 426.130. Appellant contends that the trial court erred because the record does not contain clear and convincing evidence that appellant is a "person with mental illness." ORS 426.005(1)(f). The state concedes that the evidence is legally insufficient to support appellant's commitment and that the judgment should be reversed. We agree, accept the state's concession, and reverse the judgment of commitment.

Reversed.
