PER CURIAM
Appellant appeals a judgment committing him to the Mental Health Division for a period not to exceed 180 days. He asserts that the trial court plainly erred by failing to fully advise him of his rights under ORS 426.100(1) when he was brought before the court. The state concedes the error, and we accept the state's concession. Under ORS 426.100(1), when a person alleged to have a mental illness is brought before the court, the court must advise the person of the reason for being brought before the court, the nature of the proceedings, the possible outcomes, the right to subpoena witnesses, and the person's right to counsel. State v. A. R. G., 316 Or.App. 816, 818, 502 P.3d 1203 (2022). In this case, the court did not provide all of the required information, including failing to advise appellant of his right to subpoena witnesses. We exercise discretion to correct the plain error in light of its gravity. See id. at 819 (similar).
Reversed.
