Taft v. Dist. Court
Annotate this CaseAfter Defendant was twice arrested and convicted of sexual offenses, proceedings were commenced for Defendant's commitment as a sexually violent predator. After a jury trial, Defendant was committed to the Civil Commitment Unit for Sexual Offenders (CCUSO). In 2010, Defendant submitted a petition seeking a final hearing on whether he should be discharged from the CCUSO or placed in a transitional release program. Thereafter, the State submitted its notice of annual review for 2011 asserting there was no evidence of any change in Defendant's mental abnormality constituting a ground for his discharge. Defendant subsequently filed a petition requesting a final hearing on his 2011 annual review and his claims for either discharge or placement in the transitional release program. The district court concluded Defendant failed to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that he was entitled to a final hearing on either discharge or placement in a transitional release program. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in its judgment.
