WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: Jackson County v. T.A.L.,

Case No.: 2021AP499

Officials: NASHOLD, J.

Focus: Involuntary Commitment – Transfers

T.A.L. was committed to the care and custody of Jackson County under WIS. STAT. ch. 51. He was originally ordered to outpatient treatment but was transferred to an inpatient facility after he stabbed himself. T.A.L. appeals from a circuit court order determining that the transfer complied with the requirements of WIS. STAT. § 51.35, the statute governing transfers of ch. 51 patients between treatment settings. I affirm.
