California Court of Appeal
Conservatorship of the Person & Estate of Carol K., C061006
Trial court's judgment ordering a 62-year-old woman to be placed in a locked skilled nursing facility as the least restrictive placement, after the jury found the woman gravely disabled beyond a reasonable doubt, is affirmed where: 1) the issue is not moot because "collateral consequences remain even after the conservatorship has been terminated"; and 2) substantial evidence supports a finding that the woman is gravely disabled and cannot obtain food, clothing, or shelter.
