1Opinion of the Court

*945SLOAN, S. J.

This is a mental illness commitment proceeding pursuant to ORS ch 426.1 The Probate Department for Multnomah County found appellant to be mentally ill and ordered her committed to the Mental Health Division. She appeals.

There are four assignments of error. We detail discussion in only one, i.e., that the evidence is insufficient to find that appellant is mentally ill beyond a reasonable doubt. ORS 426.130. We agree. Even though this is decisive of the case, later mention will be made of the other assignments with the hope of avoiding similar problems in future cases.

ORS 426.005(2)…
