In re B.D.
Annotate this CaseAfter a hearing, the district court entered an order for Appellant's involuntary commitment, not to exceed ninety days, initially to Montana State Hospital. Appellant appealed, arguing, inter alia, that the district court’s verbal and written order lacked sufficient factual detail to satisfy statutory requirements for an order of commitment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court’s findings were sufficient to satisfy Mont. Code Ann. 53-21-127(8)(a); and (2) there was sufficient evidence to support a finding that, as a result of his mental disorder, Appellant required an order of involuntary commitment.
