[¶1] D.H. appeals from the district court’s order continuing treatment. On appeal, D.H. argues the finding he is mentally ill and a person requiring treatment is not supported by clear and convincing evidence. In mental health commitment cases, we apply the more probing clearly erroneous standard of review. Interest of 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).
