                             Interest of A.M.K.
                               No. 20220316

Per Curiam.

[¶1] A.M.K. appeals from the district court’s orders for in hospital treatment
and for treatment with medication. A.M.K. argues the district court erred by
finding she is mentally ill and a person requiring treatment. She also argues
the court erred by ordering involuntary treatment with prescribed medication.

[¶2] In mental health commitment cases we apply the more probing clearly
erroneous standard of review. In Re Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403. We
conclude the district court’s findings are not clearly erroneous. We summarily
affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
