LEHAN, Judge.

This case involves an appeal from an order of involuntary commitment. Appellant asserts three points on appeal: (1) there was insufficient evidence to support the involuntary commitment order; (2) the trial court, contrary to sections 394.453(1) and 394.467(1)(b)(5), Florida Statutes (1983), failed to consider less restrictive alternatives; and (3) the trial court improperly did not allow summation and closing argument by appellant's counsel.
