AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Megan B. Carmichael, Assistant State’s Attorney, Jamestown, ND, for petitioner and appellee. Tyler J. Morrow, Grand Forks, ND, for respondent and appellant. Matter of Didier No. 20210325 Per Curiam. [¶1] Lawrence Didier appeals from the district court’s order denying his application for discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual.

Under our modified clearly erroneous standard of review, clear and convincing evidence exists for the court’s finding Didier has serious difficulty controlling his behavior. The court’s finding is not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Gerald W. VandeWalle Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte 1
