Opinion

PER CURIAM.

[¶ 1] E.L. appeals from a district court order for involuntary treatment with medication. E.L. argues the district court's order is clearly erroneous because clear and convincing evidence does not support the findings that the medication is clinically appropriate, that the medication is the least restrictive means of treating the patient and that the known benefits outweigh the risks. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).

[¶ 2] GERALD W. VANDEWALLE, C.J., DANIEL J. CROTHERS, LISA FAIR McEVERS, CAROL RONNING KAPSNER, and DALE V. SANDSTROM, JJ., concur.
