Part 2

R., Plaintiff–Appellant, v. Michael HANSEN, in his Official Capacity as Director of the Agency For Persons with Disabilities. No. 12–14212. Decided: August 20, 2013

J.R is a man who was admitted to non-secure resident services which was controlled by Florida Department of Children and Family Services in 2004. He filed a case against Michael Hansen the director of Agency for Persons with Disabilities for violating the § 393.11 of Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, where that organization tried to risk deprived the liberty for the people who are involve in non-secure residential services.

The District court explained, it is APD’s responsibility to look after their disable clients who comes for admission in their agency. No one can dispute the circuit court, which issues the basic involuntary admission order for jurisdiction.

The case section is totally relevant according the § 393.11 of Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. In this matter the District Court defines,” employed the doctrine of constitutional avoidance to find that the statutory scheme provided constitutionally sufficient process largely on the basis of its finding that § 393.11 “places an implicit burden on APD, rather than the client, to petition the [admitting] court for release from an order of involuntary admission when the conditions for release are indicated.” The District Court certainly recognized that “section 393.11 contains no provision expressly describing APD's responsibilities should the time come when a developmentally disabled client no longer satisfies the involuntary admission requirements.”
