Criminal Procedure — involuntary commitment
Rebecca G. appeals an involuntary commitment order which imposed a six-month involuntary commitment. Rebecca argues that there was insufficient evidence to show that she was “dangerous” under Wis. Stat. § 51.20(1)(a)2. Because the commitment order has expired and Rebecca is no longer being held under the order, this issue is moot. Accordingly, we dismiss Rebecca’s appeal. This opinion will not be published.

Dist I, Milwaukee County, Brash, J., Kessler, J.
