WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Rock County v. P.P.,
Case No.: 2021AP678
Officials: BLANCHARD, P.J.
Focus: Involuntary Commitment and Medication
In April 2020, the circuit court ordered P.P. to be subject to an involuntary mental health commitment and an involuntary medication or treatment order pursuant to WIS. STAT. ch. 51. P.P. challenges only the involuntary medication or treatment order, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to meet Rock County’s burden of proof by clear and convincing evidence. I conclude that the only issue raised on appeal is moot and that no exception to the mootness doctrine applies. Accordingly, I affirm the circuit court without reaching the merits.
