Janet Rivera suffered a heart attack in 2006. She's been on life support for for more than two years. Her condition got worse and she was admitted to community regional medical center.
Janet's husband, Jesus Rivera, was the public guardian. He was replaced by county coroner Dr. David Hadden.
Hadden says Jesus was not fit to be her guardian. Hadden seeked advice from 5 physicians. All agreed Rivera's situation was bad and said it would be best to remove Rivera from artificial life support saying her condition was "untreatable and irreversible".
The family disagreed and requested a temporary restraining order to keep life support measures in place.

A judge ruled that Fresno County must restore all medical needs to keep Janet Rivera alive.
The family took the case to court after the county guardian ordered Janet to be taken off life support. After 10 days without food or water, the guardian allowed food and water to resume. The judge ordered it to stay that way until further information about the case can be obtained.
