Matter of Didier
No. 20210325
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Lawrence Didier appeals from the district court’s order denying his
application for discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous
individual. He argues the court’s finding that he has serious difficulty
controlling his behavior is not supported by clear and convincing evidence.
Under our modified clearly erroneous standard of review, clear and convincing
evidence exists for the court’s finding Didier has serious difficulty controlling
his behavior. The court’s finding is not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm
under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
