    vs.
    The State of Florida,
    Appellee.
    An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Monroe County, Richard J. Fowler,
    Judge.
    Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and John Eddy Morrison, Assistant
    Public Defender, for appellant.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Shane Weaver, Assistant Attorney
    General, for appellee.
    Before SHEPHERD, EMAS, and LOGUE, JJ.
    LOGUE, J.
    Given that there is competent, substantial evidence in the record regarding
    the Defendant’s mental illness, the trial court correctly entered the order for
    involuntary inpatient placement in an effort to provide the Defendant with the care
    he needed. See Burley v. State, 
    59 So. 3d 131
    , 135 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011) (holding
    “that there was substantial competent evidence to support the trial court’s findings
    and involuntary commitment pursuant to the Baker Act,” but “revers[ing] the order
    under review and remand[ing] to allow the parties’ attorneys to make closing
    arguments.”). The trial court’s judgment of commitment is accordingly affirmed.
