P. v. Doakes
Mylon Dranoel Doakes appeals from the decision of the trial court extending Doakes's commitment as a mentally disordered offender (MDO) pursuant to Penal Code section 2972. Doakes contends the trial court erred when it denied his petition to dismiss the petition to extend commitment on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction since his commitment offense does not qualify for MDO treatment. We find the trial court properly denied the motion to dismiss because the commitment offense was a crime involving force and violence under section 2962, subdivision (e)(2)(P). Court therefore affirm the judgment.
