CROSBY GARCIA, Petitioner, v. PSYCHIATRIC SECURITY REVIEW BOARD, Respondent.

PER CURIAM

Reversed and remanded for reconsideration.

PER CURIAM

Petitioner seeks judicial review of a final order of the Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB) that revoked his conditional release. We reverse and remand.

PSRB held a hearing on July 26, 1991. It found that petitioner was affected by a mental disease or defect and ordered his conditional release revoked. He contends that PSRB's finding that he suffered from a mental disease or defect at the time of the hearing is not supported by substantial evidence.

Petitioner was discharged by PSRB after the petition in this matter was filed. Whether that discharge moots this petition is currently under consideration in Brumnett v. PSRB, 106 Or. App. 182, 807 P.2d 347, rev allowed 312 Or. 16 (1991).

The finding was based on Exhibits 12, 13 and 17 and the testimony of Dr. Balsamo. Those exhibits were prepared between nine months and one year before the hearing. They do not purport to discuss petitioner's mental condition at the time of the hearing. Balsamo testified that he did not think that petitioner suffered from a mental disease or defect at the time of the hearing. At best, the other evidence suggested that petitioner might still suffer from a mental disease or defect, not that he did. Hodgin v. PSRB, 113 Or. App. 580, 584, 833 P.2d 351 (1992). PSRB's finding is not supported by substantial evidence. ORS 183.482(8)(c); Valleur v. Psychiatric Review Board, 43 Or. App. 843, 845, 604 P.2d 439 (1979).

Reversed and remanded for reconsideration.
