Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City [Unpublished] Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.

Stephen Curtiss appeals from the order of the District Court granting summary judgment to defendants on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint alleging that Iowa officials unlawfully detained him after a state court ordered him released from his involuntary commitment at the Civil Commitment Unit for Sex Offenders (CCUSO).

The late Honorable Donald E. O'Brien, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. --------
