Heading: Was CLC Committed to WSH Without Due Process of Law

Text: [¶ 9] As our point of embarkation, we note that the determination that CLC was not guilty by reason of mental illness appears to have been reached in a manner consistent with Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 7-11-301 through -307 (LexisNexis 2003). Those statutes provided a full range of due process protections to CLC. See generally, ABA Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards, Part VII (1984); and 2 Paul H. Robinson, Criminal Law Defenses, § 173(g) (1984 and 2001-2002 Pocket Part). Of central importance here, however, CLC did not appeal from the order that revoked the district court's initial determination that CLC could remain in the community under supervision. Although styled a revocation of probation, we view that as an issue of form rather than substance, and it is clear the district court acted in a manner consistent with the statutes that govern in these circumstances. In any event, because CLC did not timely file an appeal from that order, we are without jurisdiction to consider the issue framed by this portion of his brief. W.R.A.P. 1.03.
