P. v. Pietromonaco
Defendant Dennis Joseph Pietromonaco appeals from an extension of his commitment as a mentally disordered offender (MDO). The order in question, granted on April 1, 2011, extended Pietromonaco’s commitment to April 1, 2012, and retroactively extended his commitment from April 1, 2009 to April 1, 2010, and April 1, 2010 to April 1, 2011. Although the district attorney timely filed petitions to extend Pietromonaco’s commitment, there were numerous continuances, primarily requested by Pietromonaco, and the hearing was not held until April 1, 2011.
He argues the court had no jurisdiction to extend his commitment after the 2008‑2009 commitment expired. We shall affirm.
