Interest of D.V.A.
No. 20180166
Per Curiam.
[¶1] D.V.A. appeals from a district court order denying his petition for discharge
from treatment and finding he remains 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 would likely engage in further
acts of sexually predatory conduct placing others in danger under N.D.C.C. §
25-03.3-01(9). The district court’s findings of fact and order are supported by clear
and convincing evidence, and we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
