JOYCE, J.
Appellant seeks reversal of an order committing
her to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority for up to
180 days. Appellant argues that the evidence in the record
is insufficient to establish that, because of a mental disorder, she is dangerous to others. See ORS 426.130(1)(a);
ORS 426.005(1)(f)(A). Neither party has requested that
we review this matter de novo, and we conclude that this
is not an “exceptional” case that warrants de novo review.
See ORAP 5.40(8)(C). We thus defer to the trial court’s findings of fact if there is any evidence in the record to support
them and review the court’s legal conclusions for legal error.
State v. B. B.,
(2010). We
have reviewed the record and based on appellant’s pattern
of aggressive behavior leading up to the commitment hearing, we conclude that the trial court did not err in finding
that appellant was a danger to others.
Affirmed.
