    PER CURIAM
   PER CURIAM

In this civil commitment proceeding, the allegedly mentally ill person assigns as error the trial court’s finding that she knowingly and intelligently refused her right to court appointed counsel. ORS 426.100(3) (d). The trial court never advised her on the record of her right to counsel or made a sufficient inquiry to determine whether she was knowingly and intelligently refusing counsel. We accept the state’s concession that that was error.

Reversed.
