People v. Young CA4/2

DISCUSSION

Defendant was found to be an MDO as of May 24, 2013. Such commitment was

only for one year. (See People v. J.S. (2014) 229 Cal.App.4th 163, 170 [Fourth Dist.,

Div. Two] (J.S.).) In case No. E061654, an appeal pending in this court and of which we

take judicial notice, defendant’s commitment as an MDO was extended for an additional

year on April 30, 2014. As such, it expired on April 30, 2015. On June 12, 2015, this

court was informed by appellate counsel that defendant had been released from her

involuntary commitment.3 A timely petition contesting an MDO commitment is not

rendered moot “until the offender’s involuntary treatment is discontinued.” (J.S, at p.

174.) Since defendant has been released from involuntary treatment, her claims are now

moot. The appeal is dismissed.

3 Defendant’s counsel also informed this court that defendant no longer wished to pursue the appeal.
