PER CURIAM Reversed.

Cite as 308 Or App 108 (2020) 109 PER CURIAM The trial court committed appellant to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days based on a determination that he was unable to meet his basic needs. ORS 426.005(1)(f)(B). Appellant contends that the record does not contain clear and convincing evi- dence to support the court’s conclusion that he is a danger to others. The state concedes that the record is legally insuffi- cient in that regard and that the judgment of commitment should be reversed. We agree, accept the state’s concession, and reverse the commitment.

Reversed.
