Before LANDAU, Presiding Judge, and ARMSTRONG and BREWER, Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. State ex rel Dept. of Human Services v. Smith, (A119798), 190 Or.App. 570, 79 P.3d 374 (2003).

LANDAU, P.J., concurs.

LANDAU, P.J., concurring.

I would conclude that the state failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence the requirements of the statute and would vote to reverse. However, this case is materially indistinguishable from State ex rel Dept. of Human Services v. Smith, (A119798), 190 Or.App. 570, 79 P.3d 374 (2003). In light of the court's decision in that *523 case, I therefore concur in affirming the judgment in this case.

ARMSTRONG, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
