D.V.A., Respondent and Appellant
No. 20160315
Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Gail Hagerty, Judge.
AFFIRMED.
Per Curiam.
Ryan A. Keefe, Assistant State’s Attorney, Burleigh County Courthouse, 514 E. Thayer Ave., Bismarck, ND 58501, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief.
Kent M. Morrow, 103 S. Third St., Ste. 6, Bismarck, ND 58501, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.
Interest of D.V.A.
No. 20160315
Per Curiam.
[¶1] D.V.A. appeals from an order denying his application for discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. D.V.A. argues the district court erred in denying his application for discharge because the order is not supported by sufficient evidence that he continues to be a sexually dangerous individual under N.D.C.C. § 25-03.3-01(8). We conclude the district court’s findings of fact are supported by clear and convincing evidence, and we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
