PER CURIAM Reversed.

Cite as 306 Or App 650 (2020) 651 PER CURIAM Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment commit- ting him to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days. See ORS 426.130. In his sole assignment of error, appellant contends that the trial court plainly erred when it failed to advise him of the information required by ORS 426.100(1). Specifically, he asserts that the trial court plainly erred when it failed to advise him of the possible results of the commitment hearing, including the possibilities of voluntary treatment or conditional release.

In response, the state concedes that the trial court’s fail- ure to advise appellant of the information required by ORS 426.100(1) is plain error. See State v. M. M., 288 Or App 111, 116, 405 P3d 192 (2017) (holding that “the trial court’s failure to advise appellant of all of the possible results of the proceedings was plain error”). We agree that the error is plain and, for the reasons stated in M. M., we conclude that it is appropriate to exercise our discretion to correct the error. 288 Or App at 116; see also State v. J. R. B., 290 Or App 858, 863, 418 P3d 38 (2018) (exercising discretion to cor- rect plain error for failure to comply with ORS 426.100(1)).

Consequently, we reverse the judgment.

Reversed.
