IN RE: C. A. S. (2017)

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

IN RE: C. A. S., a Person Alleged to have a Mental Illness. STATE OF OREGON, Respondent, v. C. A. S., Appellant.

A163020

Decided: June 28, 2017

Before Armstrong, Presiding Judge, and Tookey, Judge, and Shorr, Judge.

Joseph DeBin and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Rolf C. Moan, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.

PER CURIAM

Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment commit-ting him 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, because of a mental dis-order, he is unable to provide for his basic needs, ORS 426.005(1)(f)(B), or that he met the expanded criteria for mental illness, ORS 426.005(1)(f)(C). The state concedes that the evidence is legally insufficient to support appellant's involuntary commitment on those bases and that the judgment should be reversed. We agree, accept the state's concession, and reverse the judgment of commitment.

Reversed.
