In Conservatorship of John L., No. S157151, the Supreme Court of California dealt with whether the trial court committed any statutory or due process violation in granting a petition to appoint a public conservator under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS Act).

In upholding the decision of the trial court, the Supreme Court held that the LPS was not violated when it excused the conservatee’s production and proceeded with the hearing without his attendance.
