Conservatorship of A.I. CA1/5
The Public Guardian filed a “Petition for Appointment of Temporary Conservator and Conservator” pursuant to the LPS Act on August 13, 2020. (Capitalization omitted.) The petition, supported by a declaration and a recommendation from the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center for a conservatorship, alleged that A.I. is gravely disabled under section 5008, subdivision (h)(1)(A) as a result of a mental disorder. On that same date, the court appointed the Public Guardian as a temporary conservator.
At the initial hearing on the petition on August 25, 2020, the deputy public defender representing A.I. advised the court that A.I. objected to the petition, did not waive time, and wanted a “Zoom court trial.” A.I.’s counsel requested a trial date of September 15, 2020, which the court granted. After continuances on September 15, September 17, October 6, and October 7, 2020, trial commenced on October 13, 2020.
