v.

S.R., 		Respondent and Appellant

No. 20180346

Appeal from the District Court of Cass County, East Central Judicial District, the Honorable Thomas R. Olson, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Joshua J. Traiser, Assistant State’s Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee.

Jared J. Hines, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

Interest of S.R.

No. 20180346

Per Curiam.

[¶1]	S.R. appealed from a district court order granting Prairie St. John’s Hospital’s request to involuntarily treat S.R. with prescription medication.  The district court found by clear and convincing evidence that the factors for involuntary medication of a patient under N.D.C.C. § 25-03.1-18.1 were met.  On appeal, S.R. argues the district court’s findings were clearly erroneous and an abuse of discretion.  We conclude the district court’s findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).
