¶38[¶1] J.H. appeals district court orders involuntarily committing him to the North Dakota State Hospital and allowing him to be treated involuntarily with prescription medication. He argues that because the State Hospital failed to timely move for a commitment hearing, the court orders should be “null and void.” Section 25-03.1-19, N.D.C.C., is not jurisdictional and the court may extend the time for hearing for good cause. Interest of Nyflot, 340 N.W.2d 178, 182-83 (N.D. 1983). We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).
