§ 22-4305 Article inapplicable to adjudged mentally ill or incapacitated persons.

This rule says that the normal process for handling out-of-state legal requests does not apply to someone who has already been declared mentally ill or incapacitated by a court. If a person has that kind of legal status, the rules in this article simply do not cover their situation.

In practice, this means courts have to look elsewhere for guidance when dealing with someone who has been found to be mentally ill or incapacitated. This article is meant for other types of cases, so it steps aside when a person already has this legal determination against them.
