604                                        State v. K. A. M.

        PER CURIAM
         Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing her to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority for
a period not to exceed 180 days, ORS 426.130(1)(a)(C), and
prohibiting her from purchasing or possessing firearms,
ORS 426.130(1)(a)(D). The trial court found that appellant
was a danger to herself and others because of a mental disorder based on evidence that appellant had engaged in combative behavior in resisting involuntary commitment. On
appeal, she argues that the record does not contain legally
sufficient evidence to support the involuntary commitment.
The state concedes that the record is legally insufficient in
that regard and that the judgment of commitment should
be reversed. We agree and accept the state’s concession. See
State v. S. E. R., 
297 Or App 121, 124
, 
441 P3d 254
 (2019)
(reversing mental commitment where there was no evidence
that the appellant would be a danger to herself or others
outside of a hospital setting). We therefore reverse the commitment judgment and the order prohibiting the purchase
or possession of firearms.
        Reversed.
