AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Brian D. Grosinger, Assistant State’s Attorney, 210 Second Avenue N.W., Mandan, N.D. 58554, petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief.

Interest of G.L.D.

No. 20150245

Per Curiam.

[¶1] G.L.D. appeals from a district court order denying his request for discharge from commitment as a sexually dangerous individual.  He argues the State failed to prove he has a congenital or acquired condition manifested by a sexual disorder and could commit further acts of sexually predatory conduct.  He also argues the district court should not have quashed the witness subpoenas.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4), concluding the district court did not err in finding G.L.D. remains a sexually dangerous individual and did not abuse its discretion when it quashed the subpoenas.
