In the Matter of Wolff v. Jeffrey Keith Wolff, Respondent and Appellant Birch P. Burdick, State's Attorney, Petitioner and Appellee
Ryan J. Younggren, Assistant State's Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee. Tyler J. Morrow, Grand Forks, ND, for respondent and appellant.
Appeal from the District Court of Cass County, East Central Judicial District, the Honorable Stephannie N. Stiel, Judge.
Ryan J. Younggren, Assistant State's Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee.
Tyler J. Morrow, Grand Forks, ND, for respondent and appellant.
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Jeffrey Wolff appeals from an order denying his petition for discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. Wolff argues the district court erred when it found there was clear and convincing evidence that he has a serious difficulty controlling his behavior. Applying our modified clearly erroneous standard of review, see In re Carter, 2019 ND 112, ¶ 3, 924 N.W.2d 112, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
