Alaska Supreme Court

In the Matter of the Necessity for the Hospitalization of: Carter K.

October 17, 2024

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the involuntary commitment order and the order to administer olanzapine, but vacated the order to administer lorazepam, finding the lower court’s findings on gravely disabled status and lack of less‑restrictive alternatives were not plain error, while the lorazepam order failed the required Myers‑factor analysis.
