JUSTICE HUTCHINSON delivered the opinion of the court:
Respondent, Lisa P., was found unfit to stand trial on a felony charge not specified in the

(Code) (405 ILCS 5/2--107.1 (West 2006)). The trial court granted the petition, and respondent
appealed. On appeal, respondent contends that the State failed to prove that she is a person subject
to the involuntary administration of psychotropic medication. We affirm.

took place on February 16, 2007. At that hearing, Dr. Susnjar testified that respondent was admitted
