Appeal from the District Court of Stutsman County, Southeast Judicial District, the Honorable Mark T. Blumer, Judge.
AFFIRMED.

Andrew Marquart, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.
PER CURIAM. 1
[¶1] R.S. appeals from a district court's continuing treatment order. He argues the evidence does not support the court's findings that he is a mentally ill individual requiring treatment. We conclude the court's findings are not clearly erroneous. See Interest of Doe, 2019 ND 23, ¶ 4, 921 N.W.2d 403 (the more probing clearly erroneous standard of review applies to factual findings made by the district court in N.D.C.C. ch. 25-03.1 civil commitment proceedings). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
