LW.,
Appellant. ) 	FILED: MAR 	1 6 2028
PER CURIAM — LW. appeals an order committing her for up to 14 days of
involuntary treatment. L.W. was released from her commitment in May, 2019. She
contends, and the State concedes, that the commitment order must be vacated
because the court entered insufficient findings to support her commitment. ~ In the
Matter of the Detention of GD., — Wn.App.2d —, 450 P.3d 668 (2019) (boilerplate
findings insufficient to permit meaningful review of determination that appellant
presented a likelihood of serious harm to herself). The State makes this concession
despite its recent filing of supplemental findings and conclusions. L.W. has moved to
strike these findings, but the State did not respond to the motion or request a remand
for entry of additional findings. Also, the State has not disputed L.W.’s argument that
the evidence was insufficient to conclude she was gravely disabled. Under these
circumstances, we accept the concession of error and remand solely for an order
vacating the order of commitment and dismissing the petition.
