Commitment extension, medication

Aaron V. appeals an order extending his mental health commitment and an order for involuntary medication. He argues the evidence was insufficient to prove his mental health commitment should be extended and the circuit court erroneously placed the burden of proving competence to refuse medication on him. We reject Aaron’s arguments, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
