Matter of MangelsenNo. 20160052

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Sandy Lee Mangelsen appeals from a district court order denying his petition for discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. Mangelsen argues the district court's order was not supported by clear and convincing evidence. Because the findings of fact were not clearly erroneous, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
