PER CURIAM

Opinion:
PER CURIAM
Defendant appeals from an order of involuntary committment. ORS 426.215. It is undisputed that she suffers from a mental disorder. However, she contends, and the state agrees, that the evidence is not sufficient to establish that she is either dangerous to herself or others or is unable to provide for her own basic personal needs. We also agree. Therefore, the court erred in finding that defendant is a mentally ill person and ordering her commitment.
Reversed.
