[¶1] D.C. appeals from an order allowing the State Hospital to involuntarily treat her with medication until January 19, 2015. D.C. argues the district court abused its discretion in granting the State Hospital's request for a six-day continuance of the medication hearing and the court's order to involuntarily treat her with medication is clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm the order under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Lisa Fair McEvers Daniel J. Crothers Dale V. Sandstrom Carol Ronning Kapsner
