Feldman, Gillese and Tulloch JJ.A.

IN THE MATTER OF: CATHERINE JACKSON

AN APPEAL UNDER PART XX.1 OF THE CODE

Catherine Jackson, appearing in person

Paul Burstein, amicus curiae

Mabel Lai, for the respondent, Her Majesty the Queen

Janice E. Blackburn, for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health

Heard: November 13, 2013

On appeal against the disposition of the Ontario Review Board dated, February 19, 2013.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] Ms. Jackson appeals her last disposition where the Board ordered a secure placement but with the ability to have supervised access to the community. We see no error in the disposition. Ms. Jackson advises that she has recently been transferred to medium security. This is a very promising development for the next hearing in February 2014 where, depending on her progress, she may be able to achieve what she seeks.

[2] The appeal is dismissed.
