Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

A commitment to the Authority is a judgment within the meaning of Chapter 1 of Title 8 of Part 2 of the Penal Code, and is appealable.
