Interest of D.V.A.

No. 20100091

Per Curiam.

[¶1] D.V.A. appeals from a district court order continuing his commitment as a sexually dangerous individual.   See In the Matter of D.V.A. , 2009 ND 75, 764 N.W.2d 417; In the Interest of D.V.A. , 2004 ND 57, 676 N.W.2d 776.  He argues the district court’s order violated his right to the least restrictive available treatment program or facility under N.D.C.C. § 25-03.3-13 and the court erred when it failed to consider any least restrictive treatment programs for him.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7) and In the Interest of P.F. , 2008 ND 37, 744 N.W.2d 724.
