UNPUBLISHED OPINION

v.

D.C.,

Appellant. ) FILED: July 29, 2019

SCHINDLER, J. — D.C. seeks reversal of the 90-day order of commitment for

involuntary treatment. D.C. contends his attorney provided ineffective assistance of

counsel and insufficient evidence supports finding he was gravely disabled under RCW

71 .05.020(22). Because the record does not support his argument, we affirm.

Initial Detention

On April 9, 2018, a King County designated mental health professional filed a

petition for initial detention of D.C. The petition alleged that as the result of a mental

disorder, D.C. was gravely disabled. Psychiatrist Dr. Manal Khan filed a declaration in

support of the petition. Dr. Khan states D.C. “was brought to the UWMC [(University of

Washington Medical Center)] [Emergency Department] after being found down at [the

University of Washington] Bookstore covered in feces, urine, vomit and bed bugs.” D.C.
No. 78496-0-1/2

had a “concerning . . . elevated white blood cell count” and a bowel obstruction. Dr.

Khan described D.C. as follows:

On presentation, patient is agitated, disorganized, impulsive, and

responding to internal stimuli. His mentation is clearly altered (patient is

neither oriented nor can track conversation). He has been intermittently

and unpredictively agitated and non-adherent with treatments!

interventions. This has necessitated four point restraints.

Petition for 14-Day Involuntary Treatment

On April 10, 2018, the UWMC and Dr. Janice Edwards filed a petition for a 14-

day involuntary treatment order alleging D.C. was gravely disabled. Dr. Edwards

asserts:

In the hospital [D.C.] continues to be confused and disorganized. He has

no self[-]care plan and insists the he needs to stay in the hospital for

surgery (which is not the case). He says that he is not sure that he will

take psychiatric medications because the hospital is giving him some

“fake” medications. He has no realistic self-care plan.

[T]here are no less restrictive alternatives to detention in the best

interest of [D.C.] or others because: he is not compliant with

treatment.~1~

On April 11, 2018, a superior court commissioner entered an order committing

D.C. for involuntary treatment for 14 days. The findings of fact state, “[A]fter

consultation with counsel, [D.C.] voluntarily . . . agreed to the entry of an order for .

more restrictive involuntary mental health treatment.” D.C. was transferred to Cascade

Behavioral Health Hospital for involuntary treatment.

Petition for 90-Day Involuntary Treatment

On April 20, 2018, Cascade Behavioral Health Hospital designated professional

and licensed clinical social worker Hyemin Song filed a petition for an additional 90-day

No. 78496-0-1/3

order for involuntary treatment. The petition alleges D.C. is “gravely disabled.”

The petition states D.C. suffers from schizophrenia “evidenced by disorientation,

confusion, delusions, disorganized thoughts, tangential speech, and poor judgment.”

D.C’s symptoms are “ongoing” even in a stabilized environment, he “has not engaged

in discussing his treatment needs in a meaningful manner,” and he “does not have safe

and reasonable discharge options at this time.” The petition states that were D.C. to

leave the hospital prematurely, D.C. “would be at risk to harm himself due to an inability

to take care for basic health and safety needs.”

Appointment of Guardian ad [item

On April 24, 2018, D.C’s attorney filed a motion to continue the trial on the

petition for a 90-day involuntary commitment order to seek the appointment of a

guardian ad item (GAL) for D.C. The court granted the motion.

The same day, the court entered an order appointing Elizabeth Walter as the

GAL for D.C. under King County Local Mental Proceeding Rule (LMPR) 1 72 A GAL is

appointed “for the benefit of and to protect the rights and best interests” of D.C. In re

Quesnell, 83 Wn.2d 224, 235, 517 P.2d 568 (1973). The order states the GAL shall be

“permitted reasonable access” to D.C. “for the purpose of interviewing [him]” and to all

2 LMPR 1.7 states:

(a) Appointment of a Guardian ad Litem. Upon representation by the

respondent’s counsel on the record that a Guardian ad Litem is needed in a case, the

Court may appoint a Guardian ad Litem on behalf of the respondent without requiring the

respondent to appear in court. The request for the appointment of a GAL shall be on the

record with petitioner’s counsel present. In the event the petitioner objects to the

appointment of a Guardian ad Litem in the respondent’s absence or if respondent’s

counsel requests, the Court may require the respondent to appear to allow the Court to

conduct an inquiry with the respondent to determine that a Guardian ad Litem should be

appointed.

(b) Discharge of a Guardian ad Litem. Upon representation by the respondent’s

counsel on the record that the Guardian ad Litem has concluded that his or her services

are no longer necessary and that respondent’s counsel has been able to communicate

with the respondent, the Court may discharge the Guardian ad Litem.

(‘Information and records related to mental health services . . may be disclosed . . . [tjo

the person’s counsel or guardian ad item, without modification, at any time in order to

prepare for involuntary commitment.”).

Trial on Petition for a 90-Day Involuntary Commitment Order

On April 30, 2018, the court entered an order scheduling a bench trial on the

petition for a 90-day involuntary commitment order for May 10.

At the beginning of the May 1 0 trial, the prosecutor told the court this is an

“uncontested hearing” on grave disability. Counsel for D.C. told the court the GAL

“asked that this be a short hearing.” The GAL waived her presence and D.C’s presence

to attend the trial and the court confirmed.

A person may be involuntarily committed for treatment of a mental disorder if, as

a result of such disorder, he is gravely disabled. In re Det. of LaBelle, 107 Wn.2d 196,

201-02, 728 P.2d 138 (1986). ROW 71.05.020(22)(a)4 defines “gravely disabled” as “a

condition in which a person, as a result of a mental disorder, . . [i]s in danger of serious

physical harm resulting from a failure to provide for his or her essential human needs of

health or safety.” The State has the burden of proving a person is gravely disabled by

clear, cogent, and convincing evidence. Labelle, 107 Wn.2d at 209.

[T]he State must present recent, tangible evidence of failure or inability to

provide for such essential human needs as food, clothing, shelter, and

medical treatment which presents a high probability of serious physical

harm within the near future unless adequate treatment is afforded.

Labelle, 107 Wn.2d at 204-05. “[T]he failure or inability to provide for these essential

needs must be shown to arise as a result of mental disorder and not because of other

factors.” LaBelle, 107 Wn.2d at 205.

The State called clinical social worker Song as the only witness at trial. Song

testified that she interviewed and evaluated D.C. and met with D.C. “multiple times,

including today, this morning.” Song testified that D.C. ‘has a mental disorder and

working diagnosis at this time is schizophrenia,” and his resulting cognitive and

behavioral functions make him “gravely disabled.” Song addressed D.C.’s

schizophrenia:

He is responding to auditory hallucination, responding to internal stimuli,

and preoccupied. He tends to be very isolated and withdrawn . . . . He

only comes out of the room when . . . it’s alerted to him and reminded him

for meal times. He’s often very restless and anxious and requiring

assurance from the staff, and most of the time that it doesn’t work and

then he requires a calming medication that are needed. He is not really in

tune to what the basic needs that he needs to keep up with in the reality

setting because he is too preoccupied.

Song testified that during her interviews with D.C., “[h]e presents as internally

preoccupied responding to hallucination. He’s at times restless and anxious and that he

has slurred speech.” Song testified that in her opinion, D.C. was at substantial risk of

serious physical harm due to his inability to provide for his needs and safety. When

Song asked D.C. that morning what he planned to do if released from the hospital, D.C.

replied he would like to go to the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) but

could not say how he would do so or what he would do in case of an emergency, other

than “‘walk to the emergency room.’ “ When Song suggested helping D.C. get benefits

5
No. 78496-0-1/6

and he stay in the hospital, he became “extremely agitated” and “incoherent and then

delusional.”

Song testified that in her opinion, D.C. was gravely disabled:

Due to [DC’s] internal preoccupation and disorganization, he’s not able to

effectively communicate with the other providers and the staff, even at

Cascade, which is his structured environment. Outside of this structured

environment, I would be concerned about him not being able to

communicate his basic needs. I’m afraid that he’s going to be in the same

situation after decompensation where he shows up completely incoherent,

incontinent of his bladder and bowel, and that he would ultimately be at

risk at having infections or other medical needs that he had at the time of

admission. He’s a safety risk in that he’s not in his own behavior control

even though he has been able to maintain his behaviors in a hospital. But

without the consistent structure to provide the medications and the

treatment, I would be concerned about his safety outside of the setting.

In reaching her opinion, Song said she also considered medical chart notes and

consulted with the treatment team. The State introduced entries from the Cascade

Behavioral Health Hospital medical chart as business records. D.C.’s attorney

stipulated to the admission of the medical records.

Song referred to the observations in the medical records that supported her

opinion. An April 14, 2018 psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Long states, “Upon admission,

[D.C.] remained disorganized, psychotic, agitated, with a loud speech. He believed that

I was somebody from Olympia and he was very paranoid and guarded; did not want to

speak with me.” Song testified that Dr. Long noted D.C. “as suspicious.” Song also

referred to the most recent May 9, 2018 “psychiatric progress note” that describes

D.C.’s behaviors and increasing his antipsychotic medication for “persistent psychosis.”

The chart note states D.C. “respond[s] to internal stimuli,” “denies all psychotic

symptoms,” and when trying to elicit his thought process, he starts to “express very

disorganized and delusional nonsensical thoughts.” The final medical entry Song refers

6
No. 78496-0-1/7

to is a May 7, 2018 “[n]ursing progress note” detailing observations of D.C. That note

describes D.C. “talking to self, laughing to self, [and] making nonsensical statements.”

D.C.’s attorney did not cross-examine Song. The State waived closing argument

and D.C.’s attorney waived closing argument.

The court ruled Song’s testimony established by clear, cogent, and convincing

evidence that D.C. was gravely disabled. The court entered an order for 90 days of

involuntary treatment. The court also entered written “Supplemental Findings of Fact

and Conclusions of Law Pursuant to LMPR 1.11 .“~

Appeal of 90-Day Involuntary Commitment Order

D.C. seeks reversal of the 90-day commitment order on the grounds that (1) his

attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel and (2) insufficient evidence

supports finding he was gravely disabled.

Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

An individual subject to a civil commitment proceeding under chapter 71 .05 ROW

has the statutory right to effective assistance of counsel as analyzed under the

ineffective assistance of counsel standard in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668,

104 S. Ct. 2052, 80 L. Ed. 2d 674 (1984). In re Det. of T.A.H.-L., 123 Wn. App. 172,

178-79, 181, 97 P.3d 767 (2004); see ROW 71 .05.300 (statutory right to counsel in 90-

day commitment proceedings).

~ LMPR 1.11(b) states:

The Court shall enter supplemental written findings and conclusions in a case that is

appealed to the courts of appeal. The findings and conclusions may be entered after the

notice of appeal is filed. The prosecution must submit such proposed findings and

conclusions, together with a copy of the taped report of proceedings, to the appropriate

Judge or Commissioner, and opposing counsel of record within 21 days after receiving

the respondent’s notice of appeal.

7
No. 78496-0-1/8

Ineffective assistance of counsel claims present mixed questions of law and fact.

State v. Lopez, 190 Wn.2d 104, 116, 410 P.3d 1117 (201 8). “We review a trial court’s

factual findings made in the course of deciding an ineffective assistance issue for

substantial evidence.” Lopez, 190 Wn.2d at 116. The legal conclusions based on

findings of fact for ineffective assistance of counsel claims are reviewed de novo.

Lopez, 190 Wn.2d at 117. Strickland uses a two-pronged test for evaluating whether a

defendant had constitutionally sufficient representation. State v. Estes, 188 Wn.2d 450,

457, 395 P.3d 1045 (2017). Under Strickland, D.C. must establish both (1) deficient

performance and (2) resulting prejudice. Estes, 1 88 Wn.2d at 457~58.6

Performance is deficient if it falls” ‘below an objective standard of

reasonableness based on consideration of all the circumstances.’ “ Estes, 1 88 Wn.2d

at 458 (quoting Statev. McFarland, 127 Wn.2d 322, 334-35, 899 P.2d 1251 (1995)).

Prejudice exists if there is a reasonable probability that”’but for counsel’s deficient

performance, the outcome of the proceedings would have been different.’” Estes, 188

Wn.2d at 458 (quoting State v. Kyllo, 166 Wn.2d 856, 862, 215 P.3d 177 (2009)). To

prove prejudice, D.C. must show more than a “conceivable effect on the outcome” to

prevail. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 693. “At the same time, a ‘reasonable probability’ is

lower than a preponderance standard.” Estes, 188 Wn.2d at 458. “Rather, it is a

probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.” Estes, 188 Wn.2d at

458.

6 D.C. cites to the rule in United States v. Cronic, 466 U.S. 648, 104 5. Ct. 2039, 80 L. Ed. 2d 657

(1984), stating there are specific limited circumstances where the court does not apply Strickland and

presumes prejudice from deficient performance. But the Supreme Court has applied the presumption-of

prejudice exception to Strickland in very few cases, most involving conflict of interests. Freeman v.

Graves, 317 F.3d 898, 900 (8th Cir. 2003). The Cronic exception to proving prejudice under Strickland is

not applicable here.

8
No. 78496-0-1/9

“Washington courts also indulge a strong presumption that counsel’s

representation was reasonable.” Estes, 1 88 Wn.2d at 458. To rebut the presumption of

reasonableness, a defendant must establish an absence of any legitimate trial tactic

that would explain counsel’s performance. In re Pers. Restraint of Lui, 188 Wn.2d 525,

539, 397 P.3d 90 (2017). “Performance is not deficient if counsel’s conduct can be

characterized as legitimate trial strategy or tactics.” Estes, 1 88 Wn.2d at 458.

An attorney’s decision on whether and when to object to trial testimony are

classic examples of trial tactics. In re Pers. Restraint of Davis, 152 Wn.2d 647, 714,

101 P.3d 1(2004). When a defendant bases his ineffective assistance of counsel claim

on trial counsel’s failure to object, the defendant must show the trial court would have

sustained the objection and the result would have been different. Davis, 152 Wn.2d at

714.

D.C. contends his attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel by

stipulating to the admittance of medical records under ROW 5.45.020. The decision to

admit or exclude business records will be reversed only if it was a manifest abuse of

discretion. State v. Ziegler, 114 Wn.2d 533, 538, 789 P.2d 79 (1990). As provided in

ROW 5.45.020, hearsay evidence contained in business records is competent evidence:

A record of an act, condition or event, shall in so far as relevant, be

competent evidence if the custodian or other qualified witness testifies to

its identity and the mode of its preparation, and if it was made in the

regular course of business, at or near the time of the act, condition or

event, and if, in the opinion of the court, the sources of information,

method and time of preparation were such as to justify its admission.

Business records are presumptively reliable if they are made in the regular course of

business and with no apparent motive to falsify. Ziegler, 114 Wn.2d at 537-38. Hospital

records qualify as business records—” ‘A practicing physician’s records, made in the

9
No. 78496-0-1/10

regular course of business, properly identified and otherwise relevant, constitute

competent evidence of a condition therein recorded.’ “ Ziegler, 114 Wn.2d at 538-39

(quoting State v. Sellers, 39 Wn. App. 799, 806, 695 P.2d 1014 (1985)).

Hospital records containing entries made by a variety of medical personnel may

be testified to even if those authors are not present for cross-examination. Ziegler, 114

Wn.2d at 538. As the Ziegler court states:

“As applied to hospital records, compliance with the [Uniform Business

Records as Evidence Act, chapter 5.45 ROW,] obviates the necessity,

expense, inconvenience, and sometimes impossibility of calling as

witnesses the attendants, nurses, physicians, X ray technicians, laboratory

and other hospital employees who collaborated to make the hospital

record of the patient. It is not necessary to examine the person who

actually created the record so long as it is produced by one who has the

custody of the record as a regular part of his work or has supervision of its

creation.”

Ziegler, 114 Wn.2d at 538 (quoting Cantrill v. Am. Mail Line, Ltd., 42 Wn.2d 590, 608,

257 P.2d 179 (1953)). Indeed, even a provision in the civil commitment statute explicitly

anticipates this issue and provides:

The record maker shall not be required to testify in order to

introduce medical or psychological records of the detained person so long

as the requirements of ROW 5.45.020 are met except that portions of the

record which contain opinions as to the detained person’s mental state

must be deleted from such records unless the person making such

conclusions is available for cross-examination.

ROW 71 .05.360(9).~ Because the record establishes Song is the custodian of the

medical records and relies on them in forming her opinion, the records are admissible.

~ We note the legislature amended ROW 71.05.360 in 2019. LAWS OF 2019, ch. 446, § 13. The

amendments do not change subsection (9).

10
No. 78496-0-Ill 1

D.C. relies on In re Welfare of J.M., 130 Wn. App. 912, 125 P.3d 245 (2005), to

argue the business record exception does not apply.8 J.M. is distinguishable. In J.M.,

the court held that the failure of counsel to object to the admission and testimony of

witnesses who were not experts about psychological evaluations that contained

opinions of witnesses who did not testify was deficient performance. J.M., 130 Wn.

App. at 916-25. Here, unlike in J.M., the undisputed record shows Song referred only to

objective facts and observations contained in the medical records that supported Song’s

expert opinion that D.C. was gravely disabled. D.C. cannot show his counsel was

deficient for stipulating to admissible medical records under the business records

exception.

D.C. also asserts his attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel by not

cross-examining Song, not calling witnesses, and not giving an opening or closing

statement.

“Generally the decision whether to call a particular witness is a matter for

differences of opinion and therefore presumed to be a matter of legitimate trial tactics.”

Davis, 152 Wn.2d at 742. D.C. also does not identify any particular witness he claims

his attorney should have called to testify. State v. Davis, 174 Wn. App. 623, 639, 300

P.3d 465 (2013).

Likewise, an attorney’s decision to forgo an opening or closing statement is a

matter of tactics. Davis, 152 Wn.2d at 715; State v. Jones, 33 Wn. App. 865, 872, 658

P.2d 1262 (1983).

8 D.C. also cites In re Dependency of G.A.R., 137 Wn. App. 1, 8-9, 150 P.3d 643 (2007), which

follows J.M. and holds defense counsel was ineffective for failing to object to evidence, including reports

written by experts who did not testify.

11
No. 78496-0-1/12

The extent of cross-examination is a matter of judgment and strategy” as well.

State v. Johnston, 143 Wn. App. 1, 20, 177 P.3d 1127 (2007). “Moreover, in order to

establish prejudice for the failure to effectively cross-examine a witness, the defendant

must show that the testimony that would have been elicited on cross-examination could

have overcome the evidence against the defendant.” Johnston, 143 Wn. App. at 20.

The undisputed record shows the GAL waived her presence and the presence of

D.C. and decided to proceed with an uncontested “short hearing” that required the State

to prove by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence D.C. was gravely disabled. D.C.

cannot show that his counsel was deficient on any of these other allegations of

ineffective assistance of counsel because they were legitimate trial tactics.

Sufficiency of the Evidence

D.C. contends the findings of fact based on Song’s testimony and the medical

records do not establish D.C. was gravely disabled under RCW 71 .05.020(22) and the

90-day commitment was warranted.

The burden of proof at a 90-day involuntary commitment trial is “clear, cogent,

and convincing evidence.” LaBelle, 1 07 Wn.2d at 209. Accordingly, “the ultimate fact in

issue must be shown by evidence to be ‘highly probable.’ “ LaBelle, 107 Wn.2d at 209

(quoting In re Pawling, 101 Wn.2d 392, 399, 679 P.2d 916 (1984)). When the trial court

has weighed the evidence, this court limits its review to determining whether substantial

evidence supports the trial court’s findings and, if so, whether the findings in turn

support the trial court’s conclusions of law and the judgment. LaBelle, 107 Wn.2d at

209; In re Det. of W.C.C., 193 Wn. App. 783, 793, 372 P.3d 179 (2016). “Substantial

evidence is ‘evidence in sufficient quantum to persuade a fair-minded person of the

12
No. 78496-0-1/13

truth of the declared premise.’ “ In re Det. of A.S., 91 Wn. App. 146, 162, 955 P.2d 836

(1998) (quoting Holland v. Boeing Co., 90 Wn.2d 384, 390-91, 583 P.2d 621 (1978)).

‘The party challenging a finding of fact bears the burden of demonstrating the finding is

not supported by substantial evidence.” AS., 91 Wn. App. at 162. The court defers to

the trial court as to the credibility of the witnesses and the weight of the evidence. In re

Vulnerable Adult Petition for Knight, 178 Wn. App. 929, 937, 317 P.3d 1068 (2014). “An

appellate court will uphold challenged findings of fact and treat the findings as verities

on appeal if the findings are supported by substantial evidence.” In re Estate of Jones,

152 Wn.2d 1,8,93 P.3d 147 (2004).

The supplemental findings and conclusions state, in pertinent part, “[D.C.]

currently suffers from a mental impairment and has been diagnosed as suffering with

schizophrenia. . . . [D.C.]’s mental impairment has had a substantial adverse effect upon

his cognitive and volitional functions.” The court found that as a result of his mental

impairment, D.C. was gravely disabled and at “substantial risk of harm due to his

inability to provide for his own essential needs of health and/or safety.” The findings

also state D.C.

exhibits active symptoms of his mental impairment including but not

limited to presenting with an inability to communicate effectively, including

the inability to communicate his own needs, being incoherent, confused,

disorganized, agitated, experiencing and expressing delusional thought

process, experiencing hallucinations, and exhibiting preoccupation.

The court found that without further treatment,

[D.C.] will continue in the condition that brought him into hospital and that

a less restrictive treatment alternative is not appropriate nor in {D.C.]’s

best interest because he is not stabilized, exhibits active symptoms of his

mental impairment, and [D.C.] continues to be too disorganized and too

symptomatic to comply with a less restrictive treatment order at this time.

13
No. 78496-0-1/14

The court concluded the State “established by clear, cogent, and convincing

evidence that [D.C.] suffers from a mental impairment that has had a substantial

adverse effect on his cognitive and volitional functions; and as a result of this mental

impairment [D.C.] is gravely disabled pursuant to” RCW 71 .05.020(22).~

D.C. argues that because this was the first time he was hospitalized for his

mental health and was stable after his initial treatment, the court lacked evidence that

he was gravely disabled. D.C. contends he devised a safe and reasonable discharge

plan in that he wanted to take a bus to DESC for services and his most recent hospital

record indicated he was eating, adequate with his hygiene, and compliant with his care

plan, which proved he was not at risk of harm for failing to provide for his essential

human needs. The record does not support his argument.

Song provided overwhelming evidence that supplemented her expert opinion that

D.C. was gravely disabled. Song testified that because of D.C’s schizophrenia, he

suffers from ongoing disorganization, incoherence, and extreme agitation despite being

in the stable hospital environment. Song further testified that D.C. was not aware of his

basic needs due to being “too preoccupied” and having “poor insight.” Song was also

concerned that D.C. was not able to state a reasonable self-care plan because in

addition to D.C. not being able to articulate how he would arrange transportation to

DESC, he also could not describe how he would ensure his personal safety in case of

an emergency. Song concluded that if D.C. did not receive further treatment, he would

likely end up back in the hospital in the same condition that brought him there—being

unable to communicate and care for his basic needs and in poor physical health. The

trial court ultimately found the testimony of Song credible” and incorporated her

testimony by reference in its supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Substantial evidence supports the findings of fact and the findings support the

conclusion that D.C. demonstrated grave disability. We affirm.
