Can a recommitment petition be filed before the expiration of a long-term commitment?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. The Superior Court of Orange County, G043937, Super. Ct. No. M-10354, Super. Ct. No. M-11042 (Cal. App. 2011):

If the trial court's finding of "de facto" commitment is based on the 2003 commitment, Rigby contends the court's ruling is correct. Citing Orozco v. Superior Court (2004) 117 Cal.App.4th 170 (Orozco), Rigby reasons that as long as the recommitment petition is filed prior to the expiration of the current commitment, the trial court's jurisdiction remains intact and the expired case can serve as the basis for allowing Rigby to petition for conditional release.
