In re C.G.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals concluding that the proceedings below did not result in a due process violation but reversed the court of appeals' decision to affirm the order of the trial court to have Respondent involuntarily committed, holding that the record evidence and the trial court's findings did not support that determination.
The State filed a petition to have Respondent involuntarily committed for additional inpatient treatment pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. 122C-261 et seq. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court reversed in part, holding (1) the court of appeals properly found that there was no due process violation in the proceedings below; but (2) the trial court's findings could not be deemed sufficient to support a determination that Respondent posed a danger to himself given its failure to find a reasonable probability of Respondent suffering serious physical debilitation within the near future without immediate, involuntary commitment.
