IN RE: J. P. (2018)

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

IN RE: J. P., a Person Alleged to have Mental Illness. STATE of Oregon, Respondent, v. J. P., Appellant.

A166850

Decided: August 29, 2018

Before Lagesen, Presiding Judge, and DeVore, Judge, and James, Judge.

Alexander C. Cambier and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Judy C. Lucas, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.

The trial court committed appellant to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority after determining that he was a danger to himself and others because of a mental disorder. See ORS 426.005(1)(f)(A). On appeal, appellant 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 order of commitment should be reversed. We agree and accept the state's concession.

Reversed.
