California Court of Appeal

In defendant's challenge to the trial court's order authorizing the involuntary administration of antipsychotic medication, the order is affirmed where: 1) defendant's reliance on Sell v. US (2003) 539 U.S. 166 is misplaced in this case; 2) the trial court relied on a different subdivision of section 1370, subdivision (a)(2)(B)(i)(I) not subdivision (a)(2)(B)(i)(III), to impose the order for involuntary medication; and 3) substantial evidence supported the trial court's order under that subdivision.
