ALTHOUGH PETITIONER DEMONSTRATED THE INMATE LACKED THE CAPACITY TO MAKE A REASONED DECISION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TREATMENT FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA, PETITIONER DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THE PROPOSED TREATMENT WAS NARROWLY TAILORED TO THE INMATE’S NEEDS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, remitting the matter, determined that, although it was demonstrated the inmate lTyrone) lacked the capacity to make a reasoned decision about his treatment for schizophrenia, the petitioner did not demonstrate the proposed treatment was narrowly tailored to the inmate’s needs:

When seeking to administer a course of medication to a patient without that patient’s consent, a petitioner bear  the burden of demonstrating, by clear and convincing evidence, (1) the patient’s incapacity to make treatment decisions … , and (2) that “the proposed treatment is narrowly tailored to give substantive effect to the patient’s liberty interest, taking into consideration all relevant circumstances, including the patient’s best interests, the benefits to be gained from the treatment, the adverse side effects associated with the treatment and any less intrusive alternative treatments” … . “Whether a mentally ill patient has the capacity to make a reasoned decision with respect to treatment is a question of fact for the hearing court, the credibility findings of which are entitled to due deference” … . … [T]e petitioner demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that Tyrone lacks the capacity to make a reasoned decision with respect to the proposed treatment. …

However, the petitioner failed to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed treatment is narrowly tailored to preserve Tyrone’s liberty interest. Matter of Tyrone M., 2020 NY Slip Op 04478, Second Dept 8-12-20
