                              Interest of R.S.
                               No. 20220039

Per Curiam.

[¶1] R.S. appeals from a district court’s continuing treatment order. He
argues the evidence does not support the court’s findings that he is a mentally
ill individual requiring treatment. We conclude the court’s findings are not
clearly erroneous. See Interest of Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403 (the
more probing clearly erroneous standard of review applies to factual findings
made by the district court in N.D.C.C. ch. 25-03.1 civil commitment
proceedings). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
