Matter of AuneNo. 20140042

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Kyle Aune appealed from an order civilly committing him as a sexually dangerous offender. Aune contends that the State failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that he has a congenital or acquired condition that is manifested by a sexual disorder, a personality disorder, or other mental disorder or dysfunction that makes him likely to engage in further acts of sexually predatory conduct which constitute a danger to the physical or mental health or safety of others. Aune also argues that his due process rights were violated when he was committed as a sexually dangerous individual based solely upon conduct occurring while he was a juvenile. Aune did not raise the due process issue in the district court, and has raised it for the first time on appeal.

[¶2] We summarily affirm the order under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7). See In re R.A.S., 2008 ND 185, ¶ 12, 756 N.W.2d 771 (when a party fails to raise an issue before the district court, even a constitutional issue, the issue will not be addressed on appeal).
