799 N.W.2d 406 (N.D. 2011)

Opinion

No. 20100398.

Decided June 21, 2011.

Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Bruce A. Romanick, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Lloyd C. Suhr, Assistant State's Attorney, 514 E. Thayer Ave., Bismarck, N.D. 58501, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief.

Steven M. Light, 300 NP Avenue, #201, Fargo, N.D. 58102, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.


Per Curiam.


[¶ 1] J.M. appeals from a trial court order denying his petition for discharge and continuing his commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. He argues the State did not prove by clear and convincing evidence he has serious difficulty controlling his behavior and remains a sexually dangerous individual. We conclude the trial court did not clearly err in denying J.M.'s petition for discharge and affirm the trial court's order under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
