No. 20240341
Per Curiam. [¶1] R.S. appeals from a district court’s continuing treatment order. He argues there was not clear and convincing evidence to find him mentally ill and a person requiring treatment. We review the court’s findings “under the more probing clearly erroneous standard of review.” Int. of Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403. We conclude the court’s findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J.
