VOGEL, Senior Judge.
D.E. appeals from an involuntary-commitment order under Iowa Code
chapter 229 (2025), wherein the district court found that D.E. “remains
significantly mentally impaired and is in need of full-time custody, care and
inpatient treatment in a hospital setting until such time as an appropriate
long-term inpatient care facility can be obtained.” Based on the record before
us, we conclude that the order of the district court is correct, and no error of
law appears. Therefore, we affirm without opinion. See Iowa R. App. P.
6.1203.
AFFIRMED.
