Description
This appeal involves the involuntary commitment of Pernell to the New Mexico State Hospital for evaluation and treatment, not to exceed thirty days. Statutory references to the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code are either to N.M.S.A. 1978 or to N.M.S.A. 1978 (Supp.1978). A variety of contentions are presented. Compare Lynch v. Baxley, 386 F. Supp. 378 (M.D. Ala.1974). We discuss: (1) right to appeal; (2) mootness; (3) notice; (4) quantum of proof; (5) propriety of the commitment order as to mental disorder, serious bodily harm and least drastic means; and (6) stay pending appeal.
