In re C.V.

by
The Dawson County Attorney petitioned for the involuntary commitment of C.V. alleging that, due to her mental disorder, she was unable to provide for her own basic needs of safety and there was an imminent threat of injury to herself or others. The district court ultimately granted the State’s petition for involuntary commitment, concluding that C.V. suffered from a delusional disorder and that there was an imminent threat of injury to herself or others from her acts or omissions. The Supreme Court (1) affirmed the district court’s decision that there was sufficient evidence to commit C.V. to the Montana State Hospital; but (2) reversed and remanded to the district court to strike the condition that C.V. shall be immediately taken back to the Montana State Hospital to continue treatment if she does not comply with discharge recommendations after the ninety-day commitment.
