Trebas v. Ahlin CA3
Plaintiff was involuntarily committed and confined at Atascadero State Hospital and Coalinga State Hospital from August 28, 2004, through March 17, 2017. According to plaintiff, as of October 2005 or thereabouts, his diagnosed schizoaffective disorder, the legal basis for his confinement, was documented as being in remission, triggering the mandatory provisions of Penal Code section 2968. Plaintiff asserted defendants repeatedly failed to take required action to inspect state hospitals or otherwise ensure defendants and their agents would comply with the provisions of section 2968, which, he asserted, required the discontinuation of his treatment and his release from confinement. He asserted defendants failed to ensure their agents complied with mandatory standards calling for the release of committed persons once the basis for their confinement no longer existed.
