Interest of R.F.
[¶1] R.F. appealed the district court’s order continuing her hospitalization and involuntary treatment with medication. R.F. argues the district court erred in finding that she: (1) posed a serious risk to herself or others if not hospitalized and (2) would not take her medication without a court order. 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.P. 35.1(a)(2).
