State v. J.S.

¶1 J.S. appeals his involuntary civil commitment under chapter 71.05 RCW. He argues that (1) the trial court unconstitutionally denied his requests for a new attorney and to represent himself at his 90-day involuntary treatment hearing; (2) the State’s petition did not provide adequate notice and, thus, violated his procedural due process rights; and (3) the evidence was insufficient to support the trial court’s finding that he was “gravely disabled” and to justify committing him for 90 days. These arguments are technically moot because J.S. has completed his 90-day civil commitment.

Hunt, J.
