Interest of Jane DoeNo. 20170322

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Jane Doe appealed the district court's order for hospitalization and involuntary treatment with medication. She argues the district court erred in finding her mentally ill and requiring treatment. She also argues the district court erred in granting the request to treat with medications. 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).
