Interest of B.K.No. 20150260

Per Curiam.

[¶1] B.K. appeals from a district court order committing him to the North Dakota State Hospital for up to 90 days. B.K. argues clear and convincing evidence does not support the district court's finding he is a person requiring treatment. 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).
