AFFIRMED.
Per Curiam.

Andrew Marquart, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief. Interest of R.S. No. 20230410
[¶1] R.S. appeals from a district court order continuing his treatment at the North Dakota State Hospital. R.S. argues the court erred by finding the record presented clear and convincing evidence he is mentally ill and a person requiring treatment.
[¶2] In mental health commitment cases we apply the clearly erroneous standard of review to factual findings made by the district court. See In re Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403. 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).
[¶3] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte Douglas A. Bahr
