In re the DETENTION OF Galen Kendrick SHAFFER, Galen Kendrick Shaffer, Respondent–Appellant.
The district court engaged in no weighing of the reliable evidence. Because the Taft test was not applied by the district court, I would decline to apply the test and would simply remand the case so the district court may apply the correct standard when deciding whether or not to grant Shaffer a final hearing. See Garren v. Iowa Dist. Ct., No. 07–0714, 2008 WL 4822578, at *2 (Iowa Nov. 7, 2008) (sustaining the writ but remanding the case to the district court to apply a new standard to determine whether a sexually violent predator was entitled to a final hearing).
