Conservatorship of Jane T.
Jane T. has a lengthy mental health history, dating back to at least 1992. She was adjudged gravely disabled and a permanent conservator was appointed on May 20, 1998, under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 5000, 5350 et seq.) Over the ensuing years, the conservator was reappointed. The most recent reappointment, and the subject of this appeal, was ordered on September 23, 2008, and expires by operation of law on September 22, 2009. Court appointed counsel to represent Jane on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and requesting this court to exercise its discretion to independently review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (Conservatorship of Ben C. (2007) 40 Cal.4th 529; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Jane was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief. Jane has filed a supplemental brief stating she is not gravely disabled, that it is time for her to have control of her own money and life decisions, and that she is capable of making her own decisions.
