IN RE: D. J. (2017)

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

IN RE: D. J., a Person Alleged to have a Mental Illness. STATE OF OREGON, Respondent, v. D. J., Appellant.

Marion County Circuit Court 16CC03460

Decided: February 23, 2017

Before Ortega, Presiding Judge, and Egan, Judge, and Lagesen, Judge.

Eric J. Deitrick and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Jordan R. Silk, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.

PER CURIAM

The trial court committed appellant to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority for a period not to exceed 180 days after determining that he suffered from a mental disorder that rendered him a danger to himself and to others. ORS 426.130; ORS 426.005(1)(f). On appeal, appellant argues that the record does not contain legally sufficient evidence to support that determination. The state concedes that the record is legally insufficient in that regard and that the order of commitment should be reversed. We agree and accept the state's concession.

Reversed.
