PEOPLE IN INTEREST OF CLINTON

No. 87SC200.

762 P.2d 1381 (1988)

The PEOPLE of the State of Colorado, Petitioner, In the Interest of Wendy Ann CLINTON, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Colorado, En Banc.

October 17, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas O. David, Weld County Atty., Jan Rundus, Asst. County Atty., Greeley, for petitioner.

Pueblo County Legal Services, Inc., Thomas B. Flesher, Pueblo, for respondent.

LOHR, Justice.

In People in Interest of Clinton, 742 P.2d 946 (Colo.App.1987), the Colorado Court of Appeals held that the failure to appoint an attorney "forthwith" to represent the respondent, Wendy Ann Clinton, at a mental health certification proceeding deprived the district court of subject matter jurisdiction. We granted the People's petition for certiorari, and we now reverse the judgment of the court of appeals.
