Description
1 Appellant, J.O., appeals the decision of the superior court finding that as a result of a mental disorder she was a danger to herself and others and persistently or acutely disabled. Appellant argues that the evidence was insufficient for the court to order treatment because it was not based upon two examining physicians opinions that Appellant was suffering from a mental disorder that rendered her dangerous to herself or to others and persistently or acutely disabled as required by Arizona Revised Statutes ("A.R.S.") sections 36-501(26) and (33) (Supp. 2007), - 533(B) and -539(B) (2003).Appellee argues that the evidence was sufficient to support court-ordered treatment. We agree that the evidence was statutorily insufficient at a minimum because one of the physicians did not conduct a sufficient examination and because his "opinion" did not state that as a result of a mental disorder Appellant was a danger to herself, others, or that she was acutely or persistently disabled. Accordingly, we vacate the order for civil commitment.
