Indiana Supreme Court

Commitment of J F

May 5, 2025

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that expiration of a temporary civil commitment does not moot a timely appeal unless the appellee establishes that the commitment carries no collateral consequences. Applying that rule, the Court reached the merits and held that clear and convincing evidence supported the finding that J.F. was gravely disabled, so it affirmed the commitment order. No separate opinion is included in the record provided.
