In the Matter of R. R., a Person Alleged to have Mental Illness. STATE OF OREGON, Respondent, v. R. R., Appellant. Coos County Circuit Court 6917; A172516 458 P3d 1141
Martin E. Stone, Judge. Joseph R. DeBin and Multnomah Defenders, Inc., filed the brief for appellant. Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General, Benjamin Gutman, Solicitor General, and David B. Thompson, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before Lagesen, Presiding Judge, and Powers, Judge, and Kamins, Judge. PER CURIAM Reversed. 646 State v. R. R.
PER CURIAM Appellant appeals an order committing him to the custody of the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days. He asserts that the trial court plainly erred when it failed to advise him of all of his rights as required by ORS 426.100(1) and, in particular, failed to adequately explain all of the possible results of the proceeding. See ORS 426.100(1)(c) (court shall advise allegedly mentally ill person of the possible results of the proceedings). The state concedes that the court’s failure constitutes plain error. We agree and accept the state’s concession. We exercise our discretion to correct the error for the reasons expressed in State v. M. L. R., 256 Or App 566, 570-72, 303 P3d 954 (2013) (plain error review of violations of ORS 426.100(1) is jus- tified by the nature of civil commitment proceedings, the relative interests of the parties, the gravity of the violation, and the ends of justice). Reversed.
