Per Curiam. [¶1] E.K. appeals from a district court order for treatment and authorizing medication. On appeal, E.K. argues the State failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he is mentally ill and a person requiring treatment. E.K. also argues the State did not meet its burden for involuntary treatment with medications. We conclude the district 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).
