Conservatorship of Gail B.
Gail B. appeals the judgment establishing a conservatorship of her person under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, 5000 et seq.). Gail did not attend the March 26, 2009 hearing. Her appointed attorney stated he had advised Gail of her rights and the nature, purpose and consequences of a conservatorship; Gail consented to the conservatorship; and she waived her right to be present. On May 19 Gail filed a declaration stating the attorney had not advised her of all of her rights and all of the consequences of a conservatorship. Gail's appointed appellate counsel and respondent's counsel have filed a stipulation for reversal of the judgment, remand for a new conservatorship hearing and immediate issuance of the remittitur. Court accept the stipulation.
