In re E.D.

HUDSON, Justice.

*451 **111 This case is before us pursuant to the State's petition for discretionary review 1 of the Court of Appeals' decision which held that "in cases where a respondent [who is involuntarily committed to a State health facility] does not receive an examination by a second physician as mandated by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 122C-266(a), the respondent is not required to make a showing of prejudice resulting from the statutory violation in order to have the trial court's order authorizing her continued commitment vacated."
