John R. Kroger , Attorney General, Anna M. Joyce , Solicitor General, and Rebecca M. Johansen , Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was committed as a mentally ill person for a period not to exceed 180 days. ORS 426.130. Appellant argues that the record does not establish by clear and convincing evidence that she is unable to meet her own basic needs because of a mental disorder. See ORS 426.005(1)(e). The state concedes that the evidence is legally insufficient to support an order of involuntary commitment. We agree, accept the state's concession, and reverse.
