Watkins v. People
Supreme Court of Colorado
Decided September 14, 1959No. 19001PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Doyle
The plaintiff in error was adjudicated mentally ill by the County Court of the City and County of Denver on March 13, 1958. The medical commission report was made on March 11, 1958. He seeks review of the Order of the County Court of the City and County of Denver denying his motion to vacate and set aside the Order of Commitment made on February 19, 1959.
It appears that the plaintiff in error has been released from the State Hospital at Pueblo and that he sought a decree recognizing his restoration. This was also denied by the county court but the propriety of this ruling is not in question…
