Opinion
YEGAN, J.
Donald Wayne Jenkins appeals from a trial court finding that he is a mentally disordered offender (MDO) within the meaning of Penal Code section 2962. We affirm and reject appellant’s argument that the MDO statutory scheme, as applied, violates the ex post facto clauses of the federal and state constitutions. We explain the differences between date of enactment, effective date and operative date and hold that the MDO statutes apply to persons convicted and imprisoned for certain crimes committed after the statutory scheme’s effective date, January 1, 1986. (§ 2980.)
