Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Fond Du Lac County v. S.N.W.,
Case No.: 2019AP2073
Officials: REILLY, P.J.
Focus: Prisoner – Involuntary Commitment and Medication
S.N.W. appeals from an order of the circuit court for involuntary commitment and an order for involuntary medication and treatment. S.N.W. argues that the circuit court lacked competency to proceed with the final hearing as one of the medical experts failed to submit his report forty-eight hours before the hearing pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 51.20(10)(b). As we conclude that § 51.20(10)(b) does not affect the competency of the circuit court, we affirm.
