Description
The Sonoma County Public Conservator (the Conservator) appeals from an order entered in criminal proceedings directing her to file a petition to establish a conservatorship under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, Welfare and Institutions Code sections 5000 et seq. (the LPS Act or Act), for an incompetent defendant. The Conservator contends that while the court is authorized to refer the defendant to her office for a conservatorship investigation, the court lacks jurisdiction to order her to file the petition if, as occurred here, she determines that the individual does not meet the requirements for a conservatorship under the Act. We agree with the Conservator and shall reverse the trial courts order.
