Civil Commitment – extension — sufficiency of the evidence

Vermetrias W. appeals from an order extending her mental health commitment. Vermetrias argues that the evidence was insufficient to prove that she would go off of her medication and become dangerous if she were not under continued commitment. We disagree. Although Vermetrias has a long history of controlling her illness, recent events support the court’s finding that she was not ready to be released from her commitment. This opinion will not be published.
