In the INTEREST OF R.S. William Pryatel, M.D., Petitioner and Appellee v. R.S., Respondent and Appellant

No. 20240341

Decided: January 09, 2025

Leo A. Ryan, Special Assistant Attorney General, Jamestown, ND, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Andrew Marquart, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

[¶1] R.S. appeals from a district court's continuing treatment order. He argues there was not clear and convincing evidence to find him mentally ill and a person requiring treatment. We review the court's findings “under the more probing clearly erroneous standard of review.” Int. of Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403. We conclude the court's findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and 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
