In re C.C.

In 2014, the Lincoln County Attorney’s office filed a second petition alleging that C.C. suffered from a mental disorder and required commitment. After an adjudicatory hearing, the district court committed C.C. to the Montana State Hospital for a period of ninety days. C.C. appealed, arguing that the district court’s order lacked a sufficiently detailed statement of facts to justify her commitment. The Supreme Court vacated the district court’s order of commitment and its separate findings of fact and conclusions of law and reversed and remanded for an order of dismissal, holding that the district court erred when it failed to provide a detailed statement of facts to justify C.C.’s involuntary commitment.
