Per Curiam.

[¶1] M.S. appeals from a district court order authorizing the involuntary treatment of M.S. with prescribed medication for up to 90 days. M.S. argues the district court erred in ordering the involuntary treatment with medication. 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).
