2 Citing cases

  1. San Mateo Cnty. Pub. Guardian v. J.O. (In re Conservatorship of Pers. of J.O.)

    A156858 (Cal. Ct. App. Mar. 30, 2020)

    Together, this evidence establishes J.O. is gravely disabled: that as a result of her mental disorder, J.O. is unable to provide for her basic personal needs, specifically, food and shelter. (Conservatorship of John L., supra, 48 Cal.4th at p. 142; Conservatorship of M.B. (2018) 27 Cal.App.5th 98, 107-108 [sufficient evidence supported finding that minor was gravely disabled].) J.O. points out that she is taking her medication, and notes she has financial resources and a plan to live independently.

  2. People v. Erick M.

    No. B295578 (Cal. Ct. App. Mar. 30, 2020)

    In May 2018, appellant Erick M. was taken into custody on a "5150 hold," i.e., a brief detention in a medical facility authorized by a peace officer's perception that appellant posed a danger to himself or others as a result of a mental disorder. (See Conservatorship of M.B. (2018) 27 Cal.App.5th 98, 101, fn. 2, citing Welf. & Inst. Code, § 5150, subd. (a).) Upon appellant's release, he was prohibited from possessing or otherwise exerting control over firearms for a period of five years, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 8103. Appellant filed a request in the trial court for an order lifting the prohibition, initiating a proceeding in which respondent People of the State of California bore the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that appellant would not be likely to use a firearm in a safe and lawful manner.
