v.

R.F., Respondent and Appellant

No. 20160389

Appeal from the District Court of Stutsman County, Southeast Judicial District, the Honorable John E. Greenwood, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Leo A. Ryan, Special Assistant Attorney General, P.O. Box 1727, Jamestown, ND 58402-1727, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief.

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).
