Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal against the expired involuntary commitment and forced treatment issue was still justiciable.
Extracted holding
The appeal had become moot because the challenged commitment was time-limited and had expired by the time of the federal decision.
Extracted reasoning
As the confirmed measure lasted at most until 2009-01-05, the appellant could no longer be held on the basis of the challenged decision; the same applied to the forced-medication issue linked to that period.
