P. v. Hendrix
On March 18, 2008, appellant Daniel Keith Hendrix pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to second degree robbery (Pen. Code,[1] § 211) and grand theft from a person (§ 487, subd. (c)), as alleged in counts 1 and 3, respectively of a second amended information filed by the Fresno County District Attorney.
On April 8, 2008, appellant was admitted to Atascadero State Hospital (ASH) with an adjusted maximum commitment date of November 1, 2025.
On December 9, 2011, the ASH Forensic Services Director and Medical Director filed a certification that appellant would no longer be a danger to the health and safety of others if placed on outpatient status (§ 1603).
On March 1, 2012, the court conducted a hearing on the certification after appellant waived his rights to personally appear and have a trial by jury. The parties stipulated to the evidentiary admission of reports from ASH and the outpatient program. The defense presented testimony from the program director and the court took the matter under submission.
On March 8, 2012, the court denied appellant’s motion for outpatient treatment.
On March 16, 2012, appellant filed a timely notice of appeal.
