NOTE: SUMMARY OPINION, SEE NORTH DAKOTA RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE, RULE 35.1
[¶ 1] Larry Dvorak appealed from an order summarily dismissing his application for post-conviction relief. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6).
[¶ 2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J., Carol Ronning Kapsner, Dale V. Sandstrom, Mary Muehlen Maring, William A. Neumann.
[¶ 1] On remand, based on this Court's opinion in Interest of J.S., 2001 ND 10, the district court entered written findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the continued treatment of J.S. at the State Hospital and the availability of less restrictive treatment. Relying on the testimony of both Dr. William Pryatel and J.S., the district court concluded J.S. is a danger to himself or others if not treated. The district court also concluded less restrictive treatment is not possible because the testimony established J.S. would not remain on prescribed medication under less restrictive conditions. Concluding the district court's continuing treatment order is based on findings of fact that are not clearly erroneous, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
