DO v. W.C.M., Respondent and Appellant (2024)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

In the INTEREST OF W.C.M. Clark Herniman, DO, Petitioner and Appellee v. W.C.M., Respondent and Appellant

No. 20240213

Decided: September 12, 2024

Mary E. DePuydt, Assistant State's Attorney, Jamestown, ND, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Andrew Marquart, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

[¶1] W.C.M. appeals from the district court's order requiring continued hospitalization, arguing the evidence was not sufficient for the court to find he is mentally ill and in need of treatment. Applying our more probing clearly erroneous standard of review, Interest of C.W., 552 N.W.2d 382, 383 (N.D. 1996), the court's findings are not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).

Per Curiam.

[¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte Douglas A. Bahr
