Interest of T.L.E.
No. 20210190
Per Curiam.
[¶1] T.L.E. appeals from an order for hospitalization and an order for
involuntary treatment with medication. He argues the evidence does not
support the district court’s findings that he is a mentally ill individual
requiring involuntary treatment with medication. We conclude the court’s
findings are not clearly erroneous. See Interest of B.L.S., 2006 ND 218, ¶ 10,
723 N.W.2d 395 (the clearly erroneous standard of review applies to factual
findings made by the district court in N.D.C.C. ch 25-03.1 civil commitment
proceedings). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
