State v. Montgomery

State v. Montgomery
Court of Appeals of Oregon · Decided March 12, 1997 · Landau, Leeson, Riggs
147 Or. App. 69; 934 P.2d 640; 1997 Ore. App. LEXIS 271

State v. Montgomery

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

Appellant seeks reversal of an order continuing his commitment to the Mental Health Division. The state concedes that appellant was not advised of all of his rights pursuant to ORS 426.303 and that the failure to give the advice requires reversal. We agree with the state and appellant that in a proceeding for the continuation of a commitment, the alleged mentally ill person must be advised of the rights identified in ORS 426.301 and that, as with a failure to advise a person of his or her rights pursuant to ORS 426.100 in an initial commitment proceeding, the failure to give the advice is reversible error.

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
