Before Sercombe, Presiding Judge, and Flynn, Judge, and DeHoog, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed. Cite as 281 Or App 884 (2016) 885 PER CURIAM Appellant in this civil commitment case appeals an order committing her to the custody of the Oregon Health Authority for a period not to exceed 180 days. ORS 426.130. On appeal, appellant contends that the trial court erred in concluding that, as a result of a mental disorder, she is a danger to herself and others. See ORS 426.005(1)(f). The state concedes that the record does not contain legally sufficient evidence to support the involuntary commitment and that the trial court’s judgment should be reversed. We agree and accept the state’s concession. Accordingly, we do not address appellant’s remaining assignment of error. Reversed.
