OPINION
LESLIE, Judge.
Appellant James Drewes petitioned the Commissioner of Public Welfare for termination of his mentally ill and dangerous status and for immediate discharge from his commitment to Willmar State Hospital. The Commissioner denied his petition and Drewes appealed to the three judge appeal panel appointed by the Supreme Court. After an evidentiary hearing the appeal panel denied the petition but retained jurisdiction for one year to monitor the placement of Drewes in a less restrictive environment. From that order Drewes appealed.
We reverse and remand.
