Commitment of S.S. v. Wishard Health Services, Midtown Community Mental Health Center
Indiana Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
KIRSCH, Judge.
S.S. appeals from the trial court’s order for her temporary commitment. Although S.S.’s commitment has already expired, she raises the following consolidated and restated issue for our review: whether the trial court lacked jurisdiction to preside over her commitment proceedings because the report following her emergency detention was filed after the period of her deten tion had ended, resulting in a violation of her due process rights from the ensuing infringement of her liberty interests.
We affirm.
