IN RE: T. M. W. (2020)

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

IN RE: T. M. W., a Person Alleged to have Mental Illness. State of Oregon, Respondent, v. T. M. W., Appellant.

A173439

Decided: September 16, 2020

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

Joseph R. DeBin and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and Robert M. Wilsey, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.

Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing her to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days and an order prohibiting her from purchasing or possessing firearms. She contends that the trial court plainly erred when it failed to advise her of the information required by ORS 426.100(1). The state concedes that the trial court plainly erred in that regard and that the judgment and firearms order must be reversed. We agree with the state's concession and, for the reasons expressed in State v. S. J. F., 247 Or. App. 321, 325, 269 P.3d 83 (2011), exercise our discretion to correct the error by reversing the commitment judgment and firearms order.

Reversed.

PER CURIAM
