Civil Commitment – competency — probable cause hearings

Steven R. C. appeals the circuit court’s final order of commitment, arguing that the court lost competency to proceed in this matter when a probable cause hearing on the related petition for examination was not held within seventy-two hours of his initial detention. We agree and reverse. This opinion will not be published.
