OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE

Appeal from the District Court of Sheridan County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Sonna M. Anderson, Judge.

Jonathan R. Byers, Special Assistant State's Attorney, Office of Attorney General, Bismarck, N.D., for petitioner and appellee.

Kent M. Morrow, Bismarck, N.D., for respondent and appellant.

PER CURIAM.

[¶ 1] Voisine appeals from a trial court order denying his request for discharge from commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. Voisine argues the trial court erred in finding he has a congenital or acquired condition manifested by a mental, physical, or sexual disorder; is likely to engage in further acts of sexually predatory conduct; and has serious difficulty controlling his behavior. We conclude the trial court's order is supported by clear and convincing evidence, and we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).

[¶ 2] GERALD W. VANDEWALLE, C.J., MARY MUEHLEN MARING, DALE V. SANDSTROM, DANIEL J. CROTHERS and cAROL RONNING KAPSNER, JJ., concur.
