P. v. Moua
Appellant Billy Moua was found to be a mentally disordered offender (MDO) and involuntarily committed to a mental health facility for one year for treatment. Moua contends his commitment as a MDO is invalid pursuant to either Penal Code section 2962 or 2970.[1] Moua further contends that substantial evidence does not support the finding that he: (1) has a severe mental disorder or (2) lacks the ability to control his dangerous behavior.
The People concede section 2962 cannot support Moua’s commitment, but assert the commitment is valid under section 2970 and that substantial evidence supports the findings.
We agree and will affirm.
