PER CURIAM Appellant appeals a judgment committing her to the Oregon Health Authority for a period not to exceed 180 days and prohibiting her from purchasing or possessing fire- arms. ORS 426.130. She contends that the trial court com- mitted plain error when it failed to advise her pursuant to ORS 426.100(1) of her rights. The state concedes the error. We agree and accept the concession. Failure to provide such statutory advice of rights constitutes plain error. See State v. D. B., 167 Or App 312, 1 P3d 490 (2000) (correcting error under similar circumstances). Given the nature of civil com- mitment proceedings, the relative interests of the parties, the gravity of the error, and the ends of justice, we exercise discretion to correct the error. Reversed.
