Court entered order finding her unfit to stand trial, but after she filed notice of appear she was found fit to stand trial with medication. Order did not require her to take medication, but only referred her for treatment. Defendant reported that she had not been taking her medication, and thus by her own voluntary act alleviated any arguable collateral consequences related to court's finding of unfitness. Collateral consequences exception to mootness doctrine does not apply, and thus appeal is moot. (NEVILLE and MASON, concurring.)
