Larry J. Blake, Jr., Oregon City, argued the cause and filed the brief, for appellant.

Before WARREN, P.J., and EDMONDS and LANDAU, JJ.

EDMONDS, Judge.

Appellant seeks reversal of an order committing him to the custody of the Oregon State Mental Health Division. He argues that the state failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that he is a "mentally ill person" as defined by ORS 426.005(1)(d). We reverse.

We review de novo. The threshold issue in this case is whether appellant suffers from a "mental disorder" within the meaning of ORS 426.005(1)(d). ORS 426.005 et seq
