P. v. Shirley
Dwayne Shirley appeals from the judgment (order of commitment) entered following a court trial in which he was determined to be a mentally disordered offender. (MDO; Pen. Code, 2962 et seq.) Doctor Erika Wartena, appellant's treating psychiatrist, testified that appellant suffers from biopolar affective disorder, a severe mental disorder, and that appellant meets all the MDO criteria. The trial court found that appellant was an MDO and committed him to the California Department of Mental Health for treatment as a condition of his parole. (Pen. Code, 2966, subd. (b).) Court appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. The judgment (order of commitment) is affirmed.
