Interest of R.F. Annotate this Case Court Description: A district court order continuing R.F.'s hospitalization and involuntary treatment with medication is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2016 ND 239 In the Interest of R.F. Edwardo Yabut, M.D., Petitioner and Appellee v. R.F., Respondent and Appellant No. 20160389 Appeal from the District Court of Stutsman County, Southeast Judicial District, the Honorable John E. Greenwood, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Leo A. Ryan, Special Assistant Attorney General, P.O. Box 1727, Jamestown, ND 58402-1727, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Mark T. Blumer, P.O. Box 7340, Fargo, ND 58106, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief. Interest of R.F.No. 20160389 Per Curiam.[¶1] R.F. appealed the district court's order continuing her hospitalization and involuntary treatment with medication. R.F. argues the district court erred in finding that she: (1) posed a serious risk to herself or others if not hospitalized and (2) would not take her medication without a court order. We conclude the district court's findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).[¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J.
