304 State v. L. M.
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
state failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that
he met the criteria for civil commitment. ORS 426.005(1)(f).
The state concedes that the evidence is legally insufficient
to support appellant’s involuntary commitment and that the
judgment should be reversed. We agree, accept the state’s
concession, and reverse the judgment of commitment.
Reversed.
