WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: Winnebago County v. B.C.

Case No.: 2018AP846-FT

Officials: REILLY, P.J.

Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence – Involuntary Commitment

B.C. appeals from an order for extension of commitment and from an order for involuntary medication and treatment. B.C. argues that the record was insufficient to support the extension of the commitment and order for involuntary medication as “B.C.’s eccentric behavior was an insufficient basis to extend the commitment.” For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the orders of the circuit court.
