PER CURIAM

Appellant in this mental commitment case appeals a judgment committing her to the Mental Health Division for treatment for a period of time not to exceed 180 days. ORS 426.130. The trial court found that appellant suffers from a mental disorder, is unable to provide for her basic personal needs, and is a danger to herself. A discussion of the facts would be of no benefit to the bench and bar. The state concedes that the record does not contain clear and convincing evidence that appellant is unable to provide for her basic personal needs or is a danger to herself. We find the state's concession to be well founded and therefore accept it.

Reversed.
