Prairie St. John’s, Petitioner and Appellee v. S.R., Respondent and Appellant (2018)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

IN the INTEREST OF S.R. Prairie St. John’s, Petitioner and Appellee v. S.R., Respondent and Appellant

No. 20180346

Decided: October 03, 2018

Joshua J. Traiser, Assistant State’s Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee. Jared J. Hines, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

[¶ 1] S.R. appealed from a district court order granting Prairie St. John’s Hospital’s request to involuntarily treat S.R. with prescription medication. The district court found by clear and convincing evidence that the factors for involuntary medication of a patient under N.D.C.C. § 25-03.1-18.1 were met. On appeal, S.R. argues the district court’s findings were clearly erroneous and an abuse of discretion. We conclude the district 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) and (4).

Per Curiam.
