Interest of Nelson

North Dakota Supreme Court

Decided June 29, 2017No. 20160113PublishedCited by 15 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Kapsner, Justice.

[¶ 1] Danny Nelson appeals from a district court order civilly committing him as a sexually dangerous individual. He argues the State failed to prove by clear and *925convincing evidence that he is a sexually dangerous individual. We conclude the district court’s findings are insufficient to demonstrate Nelson is likely to engage in further acts of sexually predatory conduct or that he has serious difficulty controlling his behavior. We reverse the district court’s order of commitment and direct Nelson be released from civil commitment.
