Matter of J.M.

No. 20100398



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	J.M. appeals from a trial court order denying his petition for discharge and continuing his commitment as a sexually dangerous individual.  He argues the State did not prove by clear and convincing evidence he has serious difficulty controlling his behavior and remains a sexually dangerous individual.  We conclude the trial court did not clearly err in denying J.M.’s petition for discharge and affirm the trial court’s order under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
