IN RE M.W.

No. 93-CA-1809.

641 So.2d 582 (1994)

In re M.W.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

Rehearing Denied September 13, 1994.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerald D. Issokson, Mental Health Advocacy Service, New Orleans, for appellant, M.W.

Barbara T. Puchot, Dept. of Health & Hospitals, New Orleans, for appellee.

Before BARRY, LOBRANO and ARMSTRONG, JJ.


BARRY, Judge.

This appeal arises out of the judicial commitment of M.W., appellant, to the Southeast Louisiana Hospital. Appellant argues that the statutory requirements for involuntary commitment under LSA-R.S. 28:53 were not met and, therefore, the State through the Department of Health and Hospitals, Office of Mental Health (the Department), did not have standing to institute the judicial commitment under LSA-R.S. 28:54. We affirm.
