MEMORANDUM OF DECISION ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
NEWMAN, District Judge.
This suit raises interesting questions concerning fees and procedures which Connecticut imposes upon some persons who are mentally ill. The first is whether the State can charge some, but not all, prisoners for their maintenance at a state mental hospital while they are serving a criminal sentence. The second is whether the Commissioner of Finance and Control can automatically become the conservator of state mental patients with modest assets without a hearing to determine their incompetency.
