T.L.E., Respondent and Appellant No. 20210190 Appeal from the District Court of Cass County, East Central Judicial District, the Honorable Susan L. Bailey, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Tracy A. Gompf, Assistant State’s Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Andrew Marquart, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief. FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF SUPREME COURT AUGUST 19, 2021 STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 1 Interest of T.L.E. No. 20210190 Per Curiam. [¶1] T.L.E. appeals from an order for hospitalization and an order for involuntary treatment with medication. He argues the evidence does not support the district court’s findings that he is a mentally ill individual requiring involuntary treatment with medication. We conclude the court’s findings are not clearly erroneous. See Interest of B.L.S., 2006 ND 218, ¶ 10, 723 N.W.2d 395 (the 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). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Gerald W. VandeWalle Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte
