The PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. Jeffrey Dean GIVAN, Defendant and Appellant.

Court of Appeal of California, Fifth District.

October 24, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

S. Lynne Klein, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

Edmund G. Brown, Jr., Attorney General, Dane R. Gillette, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Michael P. Farrell, Assistant Attorney General, Louis M. Vasquez and Kelly C. Fincher, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.


OPINION

GOMES, J.

After a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity of two felonies and one misdemeanor and an ensuing commitment to the Department of Mental Health (DMH), Jeffrey Givan waived a hearing on the district attorney's request for a two-year extension of treatment. He now appeals from the judgment (order of commitment) on two grounds, both of which involve the adequacy of his waiver. We will affirm the judgment.
