1Opinion of the CourtDalianis, J.
The respondent, Sandra H., appeals her involuntary commitment to New Hampshire Hospital (NHH) by the Merrimack County Probate Court (Hampe, J.) on the grounds that: (1) she was denied her constitutional right to a trial by jury; (2) the statutory waiver of physician-patient privilege violated her right to equal protection; (3) the probate court erred in denying her motion to dismiss for non-availability of the psychiatrist’s report; and (4) the probate court had insufficient evidence to justify the necessity and length of her commitment. See RSA ch. 135-C (1996 &Supp. 2002). We affirm.
