## Opinion text

PER CURIAM
Petitioner sought review of a final order of the Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB) finding him under PSRB’s continued jurisdiction, arguing that there was not substantial evidence to support PSRB’s finding that he represents a substantial danger to others. We affirmed without opinion. McGowan v. PSRB, 139 Or App 600 , 911 P2d 1289 (1996). The Supreme Court vacated and remanded our decision in the light of Drew v. PSRB, 322 Or 491 , 909 P2d 1211 (1996). McGowan v. PSRB, 324 Or 17 , 920 P2d 153 (1996).
On de novo review, we conclude that, as in Drew , the record “contains substantial evidence that could support PSRB’s finding that petitioner was a substantial danger to others.” Drews, 322 Or at 499 . However, also as in Drew , PSRB did not “connect its decision to that evidence,” id., and that failure to connect the facts and the holding is fatal to the order. Id. at 500-01 .
Reversed and remanded for reconsideration.
