P. v. Shamoun CA4/1
Hadeer Shamoun appeals from an order revoking his outpatient status following his commitment to a state hospital pursuant to Penal Code section 1608. In 1995, Shamoun was found not guilty by reason of insanity (NGI) following a criminal trial, resulting in his civil commitment to a state hospital. Almost two decades later, Shamoun was discharged from the hospital and placed under community supervision on an outpatient basis. The director of Shamoun's outpatient program subsequently requested the court revoke his outpatient status following several incidents in which Shamoun failed to comply with the treatment program. The court granted that request and ordered Shamoun to be returned to state hospital. Shamoun now challenges that ruling.
