                             Interest of R.S.
                              No. 20200045

Per Curiam.

[¶1] R.S. appeals from the district court’s order granting the request for
continuing treatment. R.S. argues that there lacked clear and convincing
evidence to support he was mentally ill and required treatment as mandated
by N.D.C.C. § 25-03.1-02. 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.35.1(a)(2).
