State Dept. of State Hospitals v. A.M. CA5
A.M. is an adjudicated sexually violent predator over whom the State Department of State Hospitals (SDSH) has custody pursuant to the Sexually Violent Predators Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6600 et seq.). A.M. resides at a SDSH facility in Coalinga (SDSH-C), where he receives treatment for previously diagnosed mental disorders. He appeals from an order requiring him to submit to involuntary administration of psychotropic medication. The order in question was only valid for one year, however, and expired on February 27, 2018. Accordingly, and for the following reasons, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
