Interest of Hoff
No. 20190066
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Robert Hoff appeals from a district court order denying his petition
for discharge from treatment and finding he remains a sexually dangerous
individual. Hoff argues the district court abused its discretion in granting
the State’s request for a continuance. We summarily affirm under
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4), finding no abuse of discretion by the district court.
[¶2] Hoff also argues there was not clear and convincing evidence that he
has serious difficulty controlling his behavior. 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).
