Opinion

[¶1] R.K. appeals from a district courts order continuing his treatment at the North Dakota State Hospital for a period not to exceed one year. On appeal, R.K. argues the district court erred by finding clear and convincing evidence that he is mentally ill and a person requiring treatment. In mental health commitment cases we review a district courts factual findings under the clearly erroneous standard. In re Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403. We conclude the district court did not clearly err in finding clear and convincing evidence that R.K. is mentally ill and a person requiring treatment. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). Per Curiam.
