Appellate Court of Illinois August 4, 2000, 3-99-0883 (Bates v. Bates)

JUSTICE HOLDRIDGE

delivered the opinion of the court:

The respondent, Gloria Bates, appeals from an order of the circuit court denying her petition for discharge from involuntary commitment. 405 ILCS 5/4 — 706 (West 1998). On appeal, she contends that the trial court erred in denying her petition. We agree with the respondent, and we therefore reverse.
