Description

¶1 Thomas F.W. appeals from orders for recommitment and medication and an order denying his post-disposition motion. Thomas F.W. claims that the trial court lost competency to exercise its jurisdiction in his recommitment proceedings when the court dismissed the selected jury and postponed his jury trial for one week, thus extending the proceedings beyond the statutory time limits. We conclude that the record establishes that Thomas F.W. validly requested and received a seven-day postponement, as permitted by statute, and that the trial court therefore did not lose competency over this case. We affirm.
