  • 2025 Ohio 5070

Syllabus

COMPETENCY — RESTORATION — INVOLUNTARY-MEDICATION ORDER — MOOTNESS: Defendant's appeal of the trial court's involuntary-medication order is moot where defendant has been restored to competency, and the involuntary-medication order has expired. The exception to the mootness doctrine is inapplicable as defendant cannot show that the expired involuntary-medication order is capable of repetition yet evading review where defendant has maintained her competency over the course of six months pending her trial, and any subsequent concerns of incompetency require a new competency assessment and hearing.
