AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Ryan A. Keefe, Assistant State's Attorney, Burleigh County Courthouse, 514 E. Thayer Ave., Bismarck, ND 58501, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief.

Kent M. Morrow, 103 S. Third St., Ste. 6, Bismarck, ND 58501, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

Per Curiam.

[¶1] D.V.A. appeals from an order denying his application for discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. D.V.A. argues the district court erred in denying his application for discharge because the order is not supported by sufficient evidence that he continues to be a sexually dangerous individual under N.D.C.C. § 25-03.3-01(8). We conclude the district court's findings of fact are supported by clear and convincing evidence, and we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
