IN RE: K. J. C. (2019)

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

IN RE: K. J. C., a Person Alleged to have Mental Illness. State of Oregon, Respondent, v. K. J. C., Appellant.

A170535

Decided: October 30, 2019

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

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

Appellant seeks reversal of an order committing him to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days on the ground that he is unable to provide for his basic personal needs and is not receiving care necessary to avoid serious physical harm in the near future. See ORS 426.005(1)(f)(B). He challenges the sufficiency of the state’s evidence to support the court’s basic-needs determination. The state concedes that the record is legally insufficient in that regard and that the commitment order should be reversed. We agree and accept the state’s concession.

Reversed.
