1Opinion of the Court
Justice Beth Baker delivered the Opinion of the Court.
***117¶1 The State filed a petition to involuntarily commit S.D. after she attempted to kill herself and expressed ongoing suicidal ideation and hopelessness. After the initial hearing, S.D.'s attorney filed a waiver of her rights, which included her signed consent to involuntary commitment. The District Court approved the waiver and ordered S.D.'s commitment. On appeal, S.D. argues that the District Court violated her statutory and due process rights when it committed her without holding a hearing. We affirm.
