Matter of Jarvis

OPINION

HUSPENI, Judge.

The Medical Director of the Minnesota Security Hospital petitioned for authorization to administer neuroleptic medications to Homer Jarvis, who has not consented to such treatment. Jarvis has been committed as a mentally ill and dangerous person since 1977. The trial court appointed counsel and a guardian ad litem for Jarvis. At the hearing on the petition, Jarvis sought appointment of two examiners. His motion was denied. By order on July 15,1988, the trial court approved the administration of medications. We reverse and remand for a new hearing.
