Matter of Danielson

OPINION

FORSBERG, Judge.

Danielson seeks review of findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment entered on September 19. The trial court found Danielson is a mentally ill person, that there was “no lesser restrictive alternative than commitment” and that the treating facility “may force medication upon him against his will” if Danielson refuses to take prescribed medications. The trial court concluded that a dual commitment to St. Joseph’s Hospital and Ano-ka Metro Regional Treatment Center (AMRTC) was appropriate. We reverse and remand.
