In re R.S.H.

Summary

The Supreme Court of North Carolina held that the respondent preserved her confrontation argument because the trial court acted on its own motion without notice, that the trial court violated the confrontation right by incorporating a non‑testifying physician’s report, and that the error was harmless because the remaining findings, based on competent testimony, sufficiently supported the involuntary commitment order, so the Court of Appeals decision was modified and affirmed.
