PER CURIAM

Appellant seeks reversal of a judgment committing him to outpatient care under ORS 426.127 and an order prohibiting him from purchasing or possessing firearms. ORS 426.130. Appellant contends that the trial court committed plain error when it failed to advise him of his rights in accordance with ORS 426.100(1). The state concedes the error, and we agree that the courts failure to provide appellant with the information required under ORS 426.100(1) constitutes plain error. See, e.g. , State v. M. L. R. , 256 Or. App. 566, 570-71, 303 P.3d 954 (2013) ([The] failure to provide a person with all of the information required by ORS 426.100(1) constitutes an egregious error that justifies plain error review.). Further, for the reasons stated in M. L. R. , we conclude that it is appropriate to exercise our discretion to correct the error. Id. at 570-72, 303 P.3d 954 (nature of the civil commitment proceedings, the gravity of the violation, the ends of justice, and the lack of harmless error). In doing so, we reverse both the judgment of commitment and the order prohibiting appellant from purchasing and possessing firearms. See State v. R. C. S. , 291 Or. App. 489, 490, 415 P.3d 1164 (2018) (reversing both commitment judgment and order prohibiting appellant from purchasing and possessing firearms).

Reversed.
