William Pryatel, M.D., Petitioner and Appellee v. R.S., Respondent and Appellant (2022)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

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

No. 20220039

Decided: March 03, 2022

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 the evidence does not support the court's findings that he is a mentally ill individual requiring treatment. We conclude the court's findings are not clearly erroneous. See Interest of Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403 (the more probing clearly erroneous standard of review applies to factual findings made by the district court in N.D.C.C. ch. 25-03.1 civil commitment proceedings). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).

Per Curiam.
