William Pryatel, M.D., Petitioner and Appellee v. E.K., Respondent and Appellant (2020)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

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

No. 20200034

Decided: February 27, 2020

Leo A. Ryan, Special Assistant State’s Attorney, Jamestown, North Dakota, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Andrew Marquart, Fargo, North Dakota, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

[¶1] E.K. appeals from a district court order for treatment and authorizing medication. On appeal, E.K. argues the State failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he is mentally ill and a person requiring treatment. E.K. also argues the State did not meet its burden for involuntary treatment with medications. 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).

Per Curiam.
