WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Fond Du Lac County v. S.N.W.
Case No.: 2020AP274-FT
Officials: REILLY, P.J.
Focus: Prisoner – Involuntary Commitment
S.N.W. appeals from an order of the circuit court extending his involuntary commitment and from an order for involuntary medication and treatment. S.N.W. argues that Fond du Lac County (the County) failed to establish that he is dangerous pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 51.20(1)(a), (am). We conclude that the evidence supports the circuit court’s conclusion that S.N.W. is mentally ill, is a proper subject for treatment, and would be a proper subject for commitment if treatment were withdrawn. See § 51.20(1)(a)1.-2., (am). Accordingly, we affirm.
